Patent attributes
Displays for exhibiting guard tour data are disclosed. The displays are arranged in a manner such that the data can be easily analyzed and readily acted upon. The displays use a combination of colors, graphics, and text, arranged in the cells of a table or spreadsheet, to present large volumes of guard tour data in a compact and easily analyzed manner. Each row of the table or spreadsheet represents one location within the guard tour. Each cell within that row represents one visit by a guard to the location. Cell background color or pattern, graphic symbol shape and color, and/or text color within each cell indicate whether the guard's visit to a specific location fell within predetermined parameters for that location. Additional graphics appear within the cell if the system has additional information regarding the visit to the tour location that cannot fit within the area of the cell.
