What is the System Banner?

The

System Banner

appears at the top of each screen configured to show the

System Banner

, and each shortcut to which you have access. The

System Banner

contains a default set of items. Security access to the

System Banner

cannot be set for a particular role. You can remove the

System Banner

from a screen or shortcut through the

Properties

window for the selected screen or shortcut.

You can change the height of the

System Banner

, but not the width. The

System Banner

is always as wide as the screen.

If you do not scale screens and change the HMI device type for your project, this affects the

System Banner

. For example, blank space appears to the right of the

System Banner

when you configure the project for larger HMI device screens. Space to the right of the

System Banner

is removed when you configure the project for smaller HMI device screens. When you do not scale screens and change project settings to a smaller HMI device, elements may appear clipped at the right end of the

System Banner

on the HMI device.
