About custom properties for graphics

You can configure and use custom properties to extend the functionality of graphics and use them in combination with InTouch tags. You can use binding with custom properties to dynamically change the reference of a custom property.

You can associate custom properties with functionality you want exposed and that you want to be reusable. You can also use custom properties to connect an embedded Industrial graphic to InTouch tags.

For example, possible uses for using custom properties are:

• A "TankLevel" custom property of type Writable Attribute can be given a value of "me.pv".

• A "MaxFillLevel" Custom Property of type Expression can be given a value of "Me.MaxCapacity - 200".

For general information about creating and managing custom properties, see Custom properties in the Industrial Graphic Editor help. For some examples of using custom properties to show historical data, see the topics below.
