4. Configuration
Global Navigation
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:
S
The global navigation pages are copies made from the navigate template. They are not the tem-
plate or a link to the template. The ‘Global Navigate’ buttons in the panel configuration that ref-
erence 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 consists of ‘Category’ buttons. The designation “category button” has no relation
to “category buttons” in panel configurations. Here, the category button simply places a numeral or
a suffix on the button page. When the operator presses a numeral or a suffix, the numeral or suffix
is appended to the mnemonic of the device being identified.
S
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.
S
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 categories. 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 arrange-
ment of the “keypad” is at your discretion.
