System-Controls (only SCADA)

The Wizard and Help-Control can be activated in the options of the Designer. They are deactivated as a standard. If a project is loaded in which they, or one of them, are used, they are displayed in the pictures.

Wizard configuration

First a wizard configuration must be created. To do this, open the “System Controls” item in the project tree in the Designer and open the “Wizard Configuration” item. If a configuration has been created, levels can be added by right-clicking and then steps.

Names and display names can be assigned to all elements. The display names are used in the runtime and can be defined in multiple languages.Here are the further properties of the sub-elements in detail:

Level properties

Index: The index shows the order of the individual levels. The level with the index 0 is the base level.

Level icon: A bitmap can be selected here, which is displayed when the level is selected.

Step properties

Step	Description
Index	The index indicates the position of the step within the sequence
Show icon	Specifies whether an icon should be displayed for the step
Icon	If the previous point was checked, a bitmap can be selected here that will be displayed at the step
Show image	Indicates whether process pictures are displayed when a step is displayed
Image	Allows the selection of one or more images, which are displayed one below the other within the step
Replaced steps	Indicates how many steps of the basic configuration (level with index 0) are replaced by this step
Continuation condition	A condition can be set here, which must be met in order to continue
Continuation condition 1/2/3	The individual components of the continuation condition can be configured here (variables & constants)
Display condition	Configuration of a condition which determines whether a step is displayed in the runtime or not. The visibility of a step can change in the runtime, but only if it is not active or completed!
Display condition 1/2/3	Configuration of the components of the display condition
Help-ID	ID of help that can be called. The help dialog for the corresponding entry opens
Acknowledgment tag active	Indicates whether a logical variable is set to “true” when the step is confirmed
Acknowledgment tag	Variable which is set to “true”
Prevent going back	If this point is checked, this and the previous steps can no longer be actively opened. This means that interaction with the picture is no longer possible, and the continuation conditions and acknowledgment variables are ignored
Grouping	Checking this point means that this step is combined with the previous step to form a group
Error variable active	Allows the selection of an error variable
Error variable	Variable which signals an error status when “true”
Error pattern	Picture, that can be opened in the event of an error. The picture is opened as a child picture. It should be ensured that the picture can be closed again (e.g. via a button in the picture or similar)

Help configuration

The arrangement of the elements belonging to the help control is determined via the help configuration.A standard configuration is already defined in a new project.

Further layout variants can now be defined here.
