Navigation menu

The Navigation menu table in Screen management: it gives a screen the title that the operator sees and the authorization group. The Live system menu lists the start screen and the favorite pages; the table determines the title and visibility of these screens.

What the navigation menu is

Navigation menu is the table that gives screens the title the operator sees and their authorization group. Each row links to one screen: the title, the target screen, who sees it and whether it is visible are defined in the row. The Screens list in the system menu of Live shows only the start screen and the favorite pages; the table determines the title and visibility of these screens. The other rows of the table do not appear in the system menu.

The table is on the Screen management tab of the Navigation menu section (the first tab is Layout; see Screen management).

Adding a row

1. Open the section.

   In the project tree, select Screen management and switch to the Navigation menu tab.

2. Add a row.

   Click Add or the Add new row row at the bottom of the table. The Title of the new row is Yeni öğe, its Visible setting is on, and its Target screen is the first screen of the project.

3. Give a title and a target.

   Title is mandatory. Select the screen from the Target screen list; if no target is selected, the table marks the row with a warning (No target screen selected.).

4. Select who sees it.

   The Authorization group list contains (everyone) or a user group from User administration.

Title

The name shown on the button (required). The title is independent of the screen name and is a translatable text (Languages and texts).

Target screen

The screen that opens when the button is pressed. If you delete the screen, the target of this row becomes empty.

Authorization group

A user who is not a member of the selected group does not see the row, and does not see it when the session is closed either. If (everyone) is selected, the row is visible regardless of the session.

Visible

A disabled row is not included in the list; use it to hide a row temporarily without deleting it.

Description

Only in Studio; it is a designer's note.

Behavior in Live

When the operator opens the system menu, the Screens section shows first the start screen (on an additional monitor, the screen of that monitor), then the favorite screens; the button of the open screen is highlighted. The other sections of the menu are described in Live overview.

• Only screens that can be opened appear in the list: draft screens (Show is off in the screen properties) are never listed in Live; in remote monitoring, screens with Web access off are not listed either.
• The start screen stays in the list even if its row in the table hides it; in this case it appears under the screen's own name.
• The order is the screen order in the project: first the start screen, then the favorites. The row order in the table does not change the list.
• If the screen itself requires Authorization, a lock icon appears on the button; when an unauthorized user clicks it, the log-on window or an authorization warning appears.
• Pressing the button is the same as Open screen: the previous screen is added to the return list, and the Previous screen button returns to it.
• On the TV display, if the screen has no Display name, the title in this table is used as the screen name.

Favorites

The screen list in the system menu consists of favorite pages. To make a screen a favorite, select Add to favorites in the context menu of the screen in Studio, or turn on the Screen properties › General › Favorite page switch (Favorite pages).

1

1. Open screen — highlighted.

Favorite with a row in the table

The Visible and Authorization group settings of the row apply; the title comes from the Title of the row.

Favorite without a row in the table

The screen is listed with its own Display name.

Non-favorite screen

Does not appear in the system menu, even if it has a row in the table. These screens are reached with navigation buttons (see below).

If the project has no favorite pages, the list contains only the start screen.

Navigation menu, menu bar and buttons

The Navigation menu determines the title and visibility of the favorite screens in the system menu. For screen changes that you want the operator to see at all times, you can set up a menu bar or toolbar, or bind a screen-opening function to the Click event of a button (Events). The three methods are independent of each other.
