3.4 Soft keys
The figure below shows the part of the PMI including the softkeys.
Button for softkey function
Softkeys are buttons which you can use to carry out functions and which are
displayed in the three fields of the softkey line on the display. These three black
fields contain the names of the functions in white font.
The functions of the softkeys change dynamically depending on the situation and
the contents of the display.
Always the most important functions are assigned to the softkeys 1 and 2.
When the user navigates through the topology, the softkey allocation does not
change depending on the context; the assignment remains fixed. If a softkey
function cannot be executed at a point in the topology, the inscription in the field is
hidden.
The table below lists an exemplary softkey assignment.
