Smart Data-System

The Smart Data Bar provides a direct overview of the most recent transactions (from the last 24 hours) and for this reason it is convenient to use it for reviews and searches.

The Smart Data Bar is available in all views. To open the Smart Data Bar, click on the right frame border of the application. The Histogram bar will appear. Click on the frame border again to switch to the Smart Data Bar. You can also open it from the menu (View > Smart Data Bar).

If a Smart Data Source, e.g. a cashpoint is transmitting new data to the camera, the Smart Data Bar is automatically updated. It enables live surveillance of the cash point and of the retail data of a camera. You can group transactions that belong together and display them.

• Displayed time range: The Smart Data Bar only contains the data from the last 24 hours. You can search data that is older than 24 hours in the Smart Data View.
• Search feature/Filter feature: You can filter the entries for each cash point’s camera by search term. The hits are highlighted in yellow. You can jump to the next/previous search result using the two arrows on the lower edge.
• Do not show system transactions: By default, the Smart Data Bar shows all transaction that are stored on the corresponding camera. Some of the transactions, e.g. from a cash point, show purchases and events that are directly associated with the purchases, such as the “Total sum.”  Other transactions show only administrative events, such as when the cashier logs on.  Click on to enable/disable display sof system transactions.
• Do not group receipts (for VECTRON cashpoints only): Transactions are grouped by receipt number or purchase by default. Individual sales can be grouped if the cash point signals the conclusion of the transactions by creating a receipt number. Counter sales can be grouped by counter if the counter is settled in the cash point system. Click on to disable display by groups. The data will be reloaded.
• Playback transactions: Open the Playback view by double-clicking on a transaction line. The transaction will be played back.

You can search and filter data of one or more Smart Data cameras in the Smart Data View.

Fig. 77: Searching in Smart Data view

You can define and store several search queries. Enter a name for each search. The search query will be automatically saved every time the search criteria are changed. This also happens when individual search parameters and terms are changed.

1. By default there is one search query already. Click on the tab and enter the desired name.
2. Select the desired Smart Data Source. You can select more than one or even all Smart Data Sources for a search query.
3. Specify the period of time for the search. You can also enter a period of time that allows you to enter any start and end time stamp, in addition to a series of preset time windows (including “today”).
4. You define the search criteria to limit the scope of the search once you have selected the Smart Data Sources and defined the period of time for the search. Click on  to do so. A new line will be inserted.
   The individual criteria can be linked using AND or OR. The logical search operators can only be applied to all search criteria at the same time. Select to link the search criteria using AND and to link them using OR.
   Note that the search criteria apply only at the level of individual line items, such as a search for a total of > 100 and < 150. For the time being, it is not possible to apply the search to all the line items of a report, for example, finding a specific item linked to a total amount of > 100.
5. Click on to delete a search criterion.
6. Click on to define further search queries, in addition to the most recent search query. Enter a name and repeat steps 1–5.

Click on to the left of the name for the search query to delete a search query.

A new search is performed on the transaction data on the camera with the filter when the search query is reloaded. The search results are displayed again. Click on to reload a search query.

The search results are displayed with preview images in a list with a detailed display of the cash point data or in tiles, depending on the selected display format from the Command bar (List view or Tile view ).
