Area Browser

Use the

Area Browser

to browse through the areas of the currently open application, and to select an area. The

Area Browser

is available where you are required to select an area, for example in the

Area

field within the

Command Wizard

or

FactoryTalk View SE

Client Wizard

.

In the

Area Browser

, the name of the home area is displayed in bold. In this context, the home area is the area that the component you are editing is stored in.

If the area that is selected is a sub-area of the home area, the

Area Browser

returns a relative reference to the calling program. Otherwise, the

Area Browser

returns an absolute reference to the calling program.

Areas are displayed in alphabetical order. In the

Explorer

window of an application that contains areas and data servers at the same level, the areas are listed before the data servers. In this hierarchy, the areas and data servers are listed in alphabetical order. If data servers and an HMI server are at the same level in the

Explorer

, the data servers are listed in alphabetical order, before the HMI server.
