Use multi-touch gestures in data objects

You can use multi-touch gestures to manipulate Alarm/Event, Trend, and Grid objects during project run time.

Note: For these gestures to work, all fingers must be touching the same screen object. If only one finger is inside the object and the others are outside it, then the touch input will be ignored.

Alarm/Event Control object

When Multi-Touch is enabled for a project screen, then any Alarm/Event Control object in that screen can be manipulated with multi-touch gestures. Specifically, you can swipe with one finger to select items in the list of alarms/events, and you can slide with one or two fingers to scroll through the list.

These gestures are not supported on Mobile Access.

Trend Control object

When Multi-Touch is enabled for a project screen, then any Trend Control object in that screen can be manipulated with multi-touch gestures. Specifically, you can either pinch/stretch to zoom or slide to pan the viewable area of the trend.

Zooming changes the period and scale of the trend (that is, the X and Y axes) just as if you clicked any of the Zoom tools on the Trend Control object's toolbar. Consequently, if you click Cancel Zoom on the toolbar, then any zooming done by your gestures will be canceled and the period and scale will be reset.

Panning works only when the Trend Control object is configured to show historical data.

These gestures are not supported on Mobile Access.

Grid object

When Multi-Touch is enabled for a project screen, then any Grid object in that screen can be manipulated with multi-touch gestures. Specifically, you can swipe with one finger to select cells in the grid, and you can slide with two fingers to scroll/pan the viewable area of the grid.

These gestures are not supported on Mobile Access.
