Faceplate Zone

If an object on a display page has a faceplate associated with it, the faceplate will display in this section of the dashboard when the object is selected.

The area the faceplate section occupies is constructed using two panes.

Header pane

The header pane includes three parts:

• Display name — If a Display Name is configured for the selected piece of equipment, it will display here. Cluster context is also included.

  If a Display Name is not configured for the object, a truncated equipment path for the object will appear. If required, the equipment path can be displayed as a tool tip.

• Comment — If a Comment is configured for the selected piece of equipment, it will display here.

• Out Of Service (OOS) button — Allows you to put the selected in piece of equipment out of service, for example, for maintenance or repair.

  While the equipment is out of service, its alarms are suppressed.

  The OOS button has three operational states:

  • If the button is light grey, it means the equipment is currently operational and cannot be placed out of service. You will need to stop the piece of equipment before you can use the OOS button.

  • If the button is active, it indicates that you can use the button to place the piece of equipment out of service.

  • If the button is dark grey, it indicates that the piece of equipment is currently out of service.

Faceplate pane

The faceplate pane behaves in the following ways:

• If the selected object has a faceplate associated with it, it will display here.

• If the selected object does not have a faceplate associated with it, the pane will display "No faceplate available".

• If no object is selected, this pane will display "No object is selected".
