Section 5 Operation
Shortcuts in the Display Bar
As an alternative to use display links built into the display, shortcuts can be defined
in the display bar. These shortcuts are placed to the right of the standard tools in the
display bar. Each display has its own set of shortcuts, unlike the shortcuts in the
Application bar that are always available. The shortcuts in the display bar also have
the advantage to inherit underlying displays (aspects). Left-click on a shortcut to
bring up next display (graphics, alarm lists etc). Right-click to select another
available aspect under the linked object.
Shortcuts in the Application Bar
Shortcuts in the application bar works basically in the same way as shortcuts in the
Display bar. These shortcuts are also typically defined by the Application Engineer
and show up to the right of the standard tools in the application bar. Application bar
shortcuts remains as you switch displays and no inheritance occurs. Shortcuts in the
application bar is an alternative or a complement to Hot Keys.
In the Application bar, there are a number of shortcuts by default.
Context Menu
By right-clicking an object in a display (or alarm list etc), a list of aspects associated
to the object is presented. If right-clicking the background, a list of underlying
displays is presented, provided that they are configured to show up.
By left-clicking an object, the default aspect of the object is invoked. Normally that
is the Faceplate for the object, but it might also be configured to be another
Graphics display, a trend display etc.
Hot Keys
A Hot Key is a specific predefined key combination (or a single key) that perform a
specific function. For example opening an aspect view, activating a verb or
accessing an object.
Function keys F1-F12 or any standard key can be configured to bring up displays,
typically different sections of the plant and / or to important displays.
