===== Guards =====

In ActiveView, devices can be linked to guards. This allows keeping track of guard activity, especially patrols.

To open the guard list, select //Management -> Guards// in the main menu.

You can create a new guard and edit or remove an existing one.

Every guard has the following properties: 
  * //Title//
  * //Name// – a unique guard name.
  * //Position//
  * //Details//
  * //Phone number//
  * //Phone number (secondary)//
  * //E-mail//
  * //Devices// – displays the number of devices linked to this guard. Clicking it opens a new panel with a list of these devices.

You can link a device to a guard in the device details. See [[Devices]] for details.

===== Removing a guard =====

Removing a guard does not affect past events or alarms. They are still available unchanged in the alarms browser and in the reports.
