Store and Recall Views

The arrangement of windows is called a View. Views are stored in a View Pool. The pool can be created as a window.

Views can be assigned to ViewButtons.

Store Views

A view is stored using the standard store syntax and the View keyword. This means that it is possible to use the keys, keys in combination with buttons on the screens, or the command line.

Storing a view opens the Store View Options pop-up.

This is used to directly label the view and select what screens should be stored in the view. Each screen has a button that can be turned On or Off. The last touched screen is selected as a default. There are two buttons at the bottom that gives fast access to select All or None of the screens. Tap OK to store the window arrangement of the selected screens or press Please to confirm the options.

If the command line is used then the screens can be specified using the /Screen options. For more information please read the Store keyword topic.

 

Store Using Keys

1. Press Store.
2. Press and hold MA while pressing X7 | View.
   This puts the View keyword in the command line.
3. Use the numeric keys to type the view number.
4. Execute the command by pressing Please.
5. Select the desired screens in the pop-up and press Please to confirm the options.

If point 3 is skipped (not adding a number), then the first available view is stored.

Store Using a Combination of Keys and Touch Screens

Requirement:

• A visible View Pool on one of the screens.

To store a new view:

1. Press Store.
2. Tap an available pool object in the view pool.
3. Select the desired screens in the pop-up and tap OK to confirm the options.

The last touched object (the object with the white frame) can be labeled if you start typing on the keyboard. Any of the labeling methods described in the Label Pool Objects topic can also be used.

 

Store Using Command Line

Storing using the command line is very simple. The two keywords needed are Store and View.

For example storing the window arrangement on screen 1 and 2 as view 15 with the "layout" label:

 

Store a View Directly on a View Button

A new view can be stored on a View Button. This creates a view in the view pool and immediately assigns it to the view button.

1. Press Store.
2. Tap a view button.
3. Select the desired screens in the pop-up and tap OK to confirm the options.

Now there is a new view in the pool and it is assigned to the tapped view button.

Any of the described label functions can be used with the view buttons.

Assign Existing View to a View Button

The above method is for creating a new view and having it available on a view button. Existing views can also be assigned to the view buttons.

Again there are three primary ways to do it: Keys, keys and screens, and command line.

Assign View Using Keys

1. Press Assign.
2. Press and hold MA while pressing X7 | View once.
3. Use the numeric keys to type the view number.
4. Press At.
5. Press and hold MA while pressing X7 | View twice (this gives the ViewButton keyword).
6. Use the numeric keys to type the view button number.
7. Execute the command by pressing Please.

 

Assign View Using Keys and Screens

Requirement:

• A visible View Pool on one of the screens and visible view buttons.

To assign a view:

1. Press Assign.
2. Tap the desired view in the view pool.
3. Tap the desired view button.

 

Assign View Using the Command Line

The Assign, View, and ViewButton keywords are needed for this command.

Recall Views

Stored views are recalled to load the view. 

If the view is assigned to a button, then pressing the button recalls the view.

Tapping a view in the pool also recalls it.

Finally, a view can be recalled from the command line:

 

Update Views

A view is updated simply by storing it again and overwriting the existing view. This can be done directly in the view pool or on the view button using any of the methods described above.
