Disable Access to Objects

Disable when

The object/group will be disabled whenever the expression entered here (254 characters maximum) is true. If the object/group is disabled, the operator will not be able to use any form of input, such as sliders, touch commands, keyboard commands and so on.

To insert a tag or a function, click the Wizard button to the right of this field. This button displays two options: Insert Tag and Insert Function.

Note: You can also insert equipment.item references into expression fields using the insert tag option; however if no equipment has been configured in your system the list will be empty. You will need to configure equipment to populate the list with available tags.

There are three ways of indicating a disabled object/group: Embossed, Grayed, and Hidden.

[Disable when] Disable on insufficient area or privilege

The object/group will be disabled if an operator does not meet the area and privilege right defined in the Access.

Disable style:

• Embossed - When disabled, the object/group will look as if it has been embossed on the graphics page.

• Grayed - When disabled, the object/group will be grayed out (all color detail will be removed).

• Hidden - When disabled, the object/group will be entirely hidden from view.

• Unchanged - When disabled, the object/group will not change.

Note: If a group is disabled, objects in that group are also disabled. The disabled style of the group is applied to all the objects within the group. When the group is enabled, each object uses the disabled style of itself.
