Connect animations with InTouch tags

You can connect an element animation and appearance to an InTouch tag. The InTouch tag provides values at run time that control the animation and appearance of the element.

You can connect an element animation to an InTouch tag by:

• Configuring a reference with the intouch:tag syntax. This syntax is not required for referencing tags in an InTouch HMI stand-alone application using Industrial Graphics.

• Using a custom property and configuring the custom property in the embedded Industrial graphic in InTouch to reference an InTouch tag. Configuring an Application Server attribute reference to the managed InTouchViewApp object that contains the InTouch tags as attributes. The InTouchViewApp object uses the functionality of an InTouchProxy object.

• Configuring an Application Server attribute reference to an InTouchProxy object that contains the InTouch tags as items. This is a special case of configuring an Application Server attribute reference.

  Important: The History Summary data type only works with Application Server object attributes intended for AVEVA OMI ViewApps or InTouch HMI managed applications. Do not attempt to use custom properties assigned the History Summary data type in InTouch HMI Modern applications.
