Remove-VmsView

SYNOPSIS

Removes one or more XProtect Smart Client views.

SYNTAX

Remove-VmsView [-View] <View[]> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Views are typically used in XProtect Smart Client and can contain one or more camera view items or other types of view items like maps, alarm lists, and images and browsers.

This cmdlet allows you to permanently delete one or more views.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Requires VMS connection and will attempt to connect automatically
  • Requires VMS version 21.1

EXAMPLES

Example 1

Connect-ManagementServer -ShowDialog -AcceptEula
Get-VmsView | Out-GridView -OutputMode Single | Remove-VmsView -WhatIf

After ensuring there is an open connection to the Management Server, we retrieve a list of all views in all view groups, present a grid view dialog where one view may be selected, and this view is passed to Remove-VmsView with the -WhatIf switch to ensure that no views are actually deleted.

To delete a view, you can omit the -WhatIf switch parameter. Add the -Verbose switch to see detailed messages for each deleted view.
