Configure a basic SA_KPIBar symbol using ArchestrA objects

A basic SA_KPIBar symbol is oriented horizontally and includes a label. Two custom properties need to be configured to show the current KPI value and the KPI tracker line. Optionally, a label can be specified for the symbol.

Prerequisites

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

• Create two Double field attributes for the KPI and KPI tracker values

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

Configure a basic SA_KPIBar symbol using ArchestrA attributes

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

2. Select the symbol and press Ctrl + M to show the Custom Properties dialog box.

3. Select the KPI custom property from the list and click the Galaxy Browser button to the right of the Default Value field.

6. Select the KPITracker custom property and repeat steps 3 through 5.

7. If you want, assign an optional string to the symbol's label.

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

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

8. Save the symbol and check it in.

9. If necessary, deploy the Galaxy containing the object whose attributes are used as reference values of the custom properties.

10. Double-click an instance of InTouchViewApp to start WindowMaker.

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

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