Set up actions for a Button

In the Action tab of the Properties dialog box, specify what the button does when the user presses, holds, or releases it at runtime.
To set up an action on a tag for a Button:
  1. In the
    Button Properties
     dialog box, in the
    Action
     tab, beside the
    Action
     field, click the down arrow to scroll the list of actions and select one.
  2. Select any action except Run Command. A
    Tag
     field and browse button
    (...)
     are displayed.
  3. In the
    Tag
     field, type a tag name or click the browse button
    (...)
     to locate and select a one. The options are described below.
To set up a command to run on a press, repeat or release action for a Button:
  1. In the list of actions, select
    Run command
    .
  2. In the
    Press
    ,
    Repeat
    , or
    Release
     action field, type the FactoryTalk View SE command that the action will initiate, or click the browse button
    (...)
     to open the
    Command
     wizard and build the command string.
    TIP:
    You can specify one or multiple commands for each of the three
    Run command
     actions.
    Do not use the keyboard (that is, press and hold the Enter key) to initiate a Repeat action on a button. Windows interprets this as a series of Presses so the action defined for Repeat will not be done. The Enter key will work for Press and Release.
