Shortcut tab

How do I open the Shortcut tab?
In the
Project Explorer
of the open project, expand the
Navigation Menu
folder, and double-click the shortcut. Shortcut names are preceded by a
Shortcut
icon ViewDesPEShortcutIcon.
The
Shortcut
tab displays the contents of the shortcut on the HMI device. A shortcut is a link to the screen on which the shortcut is based. A shortcut displays the same content as the screen to which it is linked. Create screen properties the shortcut can use to pass different tag values to a screen. This allows creating a reusable screen that multiple shortcuts can call using different tag values.
Use shortcuts to provide operators:
  • Quick access to a screen.
  • A way to call the same screen with different data.
Use the
Shortcut
tab to:
  • Specify the icon for the shortcut to appear on the
    Navigation menu
     of the HMI device.
  • Modify properties passed from the shortcut to the defining screen.
  • Open the defining screen of the shortcut.
