Configure security attributes

This topic explains the general sequence of steps to implement a Security attribute in a graphic.

Note: Security must be enabled and users defined in the security system to be able to show user security characteristics as reference values of Security attributes.

To configure Security attributes

1. Place a text box within a graphic.

2. Using a mouse or touch, select the text element to show the Animations dialog box.

3. Select the Add Animation button to show the list of possible animations.

4. Select Value Display animation as the type of animation to show the current time in the text box added to the graphic.

5. Select the data type and enter the fully qualified Security attribute name.

   

   In this example, String is the data type for the LoggedInUserName attribute. For more information about the data types associated with each Security attribute, see More Information About Security Attributes.

6. Save your changes to the graphic that contains the text element configured with the Security attribute.

7. Deploy the ViewApp containing the graphic.

8. When the ViewApp is running, you should see the user's log in name in the graphic's text field configured with the security attribute.
