Note: AVEVA Industrial Graphics is now deprecated within Plant SCADA and future releases. It will no longer be supported or maintained in future versions, monthly updates or security updates. AVEVA recommends customers cease using AVEVA Industrial Graphics within Plant SCADA runtime systems and decommission any Plant SCADA Industrial Graphics web servers from production and engineering systems. See AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics for more information.
You can use the Menu Configuration view in Plant SCADA Studio's Visualization activity to configure a navigation menu for the Industrial Graphics pages delivered to web-based clients via the Web Server.
To do this, firstly select Industrial Graphics from the drop-down menu below the command bar.
Note: If you want to configure a menu for standard project, see Configure a Standard Plant SCADA Menu.
You can create one Industrial Graphics menu for each Plant SCADA project. At runtime, the menu configured in the primary active project will be applied to the Web Server; any menus configured in an included project will not be used.
A menu can include the following:
|
|
Home represents the top-level of the menu tree. It cannot be moved, renamed or deleted. You can link to a page at this level of the tree. The page you choose will display when the Web Client is launched at runtime. |
|
|
A branch creates the entry point for a new level within the menu tree. You can:
You cannot link a branch to a page. |
|
|
Items provide the links to the Industrial Graphics pages within your project. The name you give to an item should represent the page that will display when it is selected at runtime. |
To build a menu, use the tree to the left of the Menu Configuration view.
If a menu item has a page linked to it, the page will display in the panel to the right of the tree when the item is selected.
Note: If the name of an item appears as red italic text, it means the linked page cannot be found. Confirm that the page location can still be accessed, and that the page has not been moved, renamed or deleted.
