3.2.4 Other Screen and Site Related Operations
Copy This Site to A New Site
This option allows copying of the existing screens and settings for a site to a new site. This option is found at
Graphics, Add Screen, Copy This Site to A New Site . When this menu item is selected, the workstation will
copy all the information and screens for the currently displayed screen and its associated site to a new site. A
dialog box will appear and prompt for a new site ID and a new associated phone number. This information is
needed to differentiate between the original and new sites.
Edit Screen Title
This option allows renaming of the currently displayed screen. The software will prompt for a new screen title. This
option is useful for renaming screens that were Auto-created and still have their default titles. This option can be
found at Graphics, Edit, Screen Title .
Delete Screen
This option deletes the currently displayed screen and is found at Graphics, Delete, Screen . When this option
is selected the software will prompt to confirm the deletion of the current screen. Clicking
OK
will delete the
current screen, while clicking
Cancel
will abort the delete procedure.
Keep in mind that because of the way information is stored in the screen database, deleting a screen will not
immediately reduce the size of the screen database. In order to free the space again, the screen database must be
compacted. This is done by selecting Compact Screen Database in the Maintenance, Database
Utilities, Compacting menu. For more information on compacting databases and database management, refer
to section 3.5.1 titled Database Management in the System Maintenance section of this manual.
Delete Site
This option operates in the same fashion as Delete Screen except that it deletes the site from which the current
screen belongs and all screens from that site. Delete Site is also found in the Graphics, Delete menu.
NOTES ABOUT DELETING SITES AND SCREENS:
Sites and screens containing off-normal devices cannot be deleted until these devices return to
normal or are reset.
When a screen or site is deleted, all related devices are deleted as well. In addition, any
navigational buttons referring to the deleted screen will also be deleted.
When screens are deleted (both individually and with a site) all screens of a higher number are
decremented to fill the gap. Any references to those screens are updated as well.
When a screen or site is deleted, the action is logged to the Messages window.
If a .WMF vector drawing is used, it will be stored in the workstation's screen database. This format provides an
image that can be re-sized and zoomed without loss of quality and resolution. Individual elements of the vector
drawing can also be edited and the colors modified. For more information on these operations, refer to the section
titled Graphic Tools, which covers the graphic editing of screens.
When zooming, selecting FULL shows everything present on the screen regardless of scale, size or aspect ratio.
Selecting 100% will display all objects at a one to one resolution as they were assigned and placed on the screen.
This means that at 100% backgrounds with aspect ratios that do not match that of the display area will extend
beyond that area. Scroll bars will appear just as they do at higher zoom levels.
