Configure a basic SA_SequenceButton symbol using ArchestrA attributes

The basic configuration of the SA_SequenceButton symbol includes assigning strings to the label, Sequence Description, Phase Type, and the Phase Step. As part of a basic configuration, the symbol's equipment status indicator can be set to show basic Active and Passive states.

This procedure does not explain how to set strings to the symbol's labels. You can use the Substitute Strings feature to assign your strings.

Prerequisites

To follow the steps of this procedure, create an ArchestrA object that meet the following requirements:

• Create two Boolean field attributes to represent active and passive equipment states.

• Create an InTouch application with a window to verify that the symbol has been configured correctly.

To configure a basic SA_SequenceButton symbol using ArchestrA attributes

1. Embed the symbol in another symbol in the Industrial Graphic Editor.

2. Select the symbol.

3. Change the EquipmentStatusIndicator Wizard option to True.

4. Right-click on the symbol and select Custom Properties from the shortcut menu to show the Custom Properties dialog box.

   1. Right-click on the symbol, select Substitute, and then select Substitute Strings.

   2. Enter strings for the different labels and click OK.

10. Save the symbol and check it in.

11. If necessary, deploy the Galaxy containing the object with attributes that are used as reference values of the custom properties.

12. Double-click an instance of InTouch ViewApp to start WindowMaker.

13. Create a new InTouch window and embed the symbol containing the symbol.

14. Run the application in WindowViewer to verify that your basic symbol configuration works correctly.
