The
Predefined Screens
folder in the
Project Explorer
contains default screens, popups, and a
Banner
item for each project.
To view default content of a project
  1. Select
    View > Project Explorer
    .
  2. View the contents of the
    Predefined Screens
    folder:
    • Banner.
      Appears at the top of each project screen. It displays date and time, active and unacknowledged alarm indicators, controller diagnostic, and network diagnostic information. It also provides buttons to navigate to the
      Alarm Summary
      , log on and log off the project, move backward and forward through navigation history, and display the
      Navigation menu
       at the bottom of the HMI device.
    • Settings.
       Provides a menu of options to configure settings for the HMI device. By default, access the
      Settings
      screen through the
      Navigation menu
       on the HMI device. The options on the
      Settings
      screen open the popups listed under the screen in the
      Predefined Screens
      folder. These popups perform tasks to configure the HMI device.
      TIP:
      Restrict access to the screens that configure the HMI device. Apply any role that is not
      Administrator
      to the
      Guest User
       on the
      Security Administration
       screen. Any non-Administrator user, including users with the
      None
      role assigned, can open the popups but cannot change the options.
    • AlarmSummary.
      This screen displays a list of alarms that are in "interesting" states or that require attention. For example, the
      Alarm Summary
       lists alarms that are In Alarm and Unacknowledged. By default, access the
      AlarmSummary
       screen through the System Banner or the
      Navigation menu
       on the HMI device.
    • AlarmManager.
      This screen displays a list of all alarms regardless of their state. Alarms in the
      Alarm Manager
       include all of the conditions for a given alarm. By default, access the
      AlarmManager
       screen through the
      Navigation menu
       or the
      Alarm Summary
       on the HMI device.
    • Alarm History.
       This screen displays a list of all alarm state changes. Each row in the table contains one state change. By default, access the
      Alarm History
       screen through the
      Navigation menu
       on the HMI device.
      TIP:
      • To add or remove information and functionality from predefined items, change the content of predefined screens, popups, and the
        Banner
        item like any other screen. Do not remove content that configures the HMI device.
      • To restore the default content of a predefined screen, popup, or the
        Banner
        item, remove any remaining content from the revised item, open an unchanged version of the item in another project, and copy and paste the default content to the item.
      • Dragging the
        Settings
        ,
        AlarmSummary
        , and
        AlarmManager
        screens to the
        Navigation Menu
        folder in the
        Project Explorer
         creates a shortcut for the screen. The shortcut appears in the
        Navigation Menu
        . By default, these items are already in the
        Navigation Menu
        .
