Choose a navigate template in that field. The global navigation page and any of its
subpages appears in the panel configuration’s button page list:
The global navigation pages are copies made from the navigate template. They are not
the template or a link to the template. The ‘Global Navigate’ buttons in the panel
configuration that reference a navigate template do have links to their templates.
The global navigation template provides all the button types available for panel
configurations except additional ‘Global Navigate’ buttons. Otherwise, a global navigation
page is functionally identical to a navigation page.
A global navigation page should at least have a back button.
Composing Suffix Templates
Suffix templates have only a few button types. Essentially what you can do with a suffix
template is create a “keypad.” This is an example:
The keypad itself (the first 12 buttons here) consists of ‘Category’ buttons. The designation
“category button” has little relation to “category buttons” in panel configurations. Here, the
category button simply places a numeral or a suffix on the button page. The two buttons
labeled ‘ABC’ and ‘DEF’ yield suffixes. When the operator presses a numeral or a suffix, the
numeral or suffix is appended to the name of the device being identified.
Alphanumeric suffixes are typically single characters.
It is an NV9000-SE Utilities feature that certain numerals become disabled if there is no
device index in the category that contains that numeral. It is possible for
all
numerals to
be disabled. For example, if there are 23 devices in the category that caused the suffix
page to be displayed, then after the operator presses two numerals, all further entry is
disabled.
It is logical to include a ‘Take’ button on suffix templates used by source categories. It is
not logical to include a ‘Take’ button on suffix templates used by destination catego-
ries. However, if a suffix template can be used for either sources or destinations, then a
‘Take’ button is at your discretion.
The operator can use a ‘Clear Preset’ button to cancel a mistaken entry and start over.
Every suffix template must have a ‘Back’ button, and may have a ‘Take’ button, a ‘Clear
Preset’ button, or a ‘Hold’ button. There are no other button types. You can duplicate
buttons. The arrangement of the “keypad” is at your discretion.
