As an AVEVA PI Vision administrator, you can set default display and symbol configurations to match a standard corporate style. You can set the follow types of defaults:
-
Symbol defaults
-
System defaults
Symbol defaults are assigned for each symbol type from the configuration pane for an instance of a symbol on a display. The display defaults are assigned from the configuration pane for a display. Defaults are applied when a symbol or display is created. The defaults are not applied to existing symbols or displays and cannot be assigned in custom symbols.
System defaults are assigned from the AVEVA PI Vision Administration website. You can set default colors for the multi-state palette and colors for event severity and the event Acknowledge button. You can set the labels and durations that are shown on the timebar popup, used to quickly change the display duration to common intervals.
If needed, you can reset all defaults, symbol and system, to the original settings.
