Project tree
Reaching sections and screens in the project tree, creating groups (folders), searching, the + buttons on the rows, context menus, drag and drop, and editor tabs.
The project tree is the tree on the left of the main window: all sections and screens of the project are opened from here, and screens and table records are divided into groups.
Tree structure
At the top is the project node, below it the station node (with the dimmed note FabyaVision Live next to it). Under the station, the sections appear in this order:
| Section | Content | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Device configuration | Station name and operating mode | Device configuration |
| Live settings | Live startup, appearance, session, window and keyboard settings | Live settings |
| Remote monitoring | Monitoring from the browser and TV | Remote monitoring |
| OPC UA Server | The OPC UA server that Live opens to external systems | OPC UA server |
| Screens | Three fixed branches: 2D Screens (normal screens and templates), Faceplates (pop-up windows) and 3D Scenes | Screen management |
| Screen management | Fixed top / bottom area, navigation menu; below it Menus and toolbars | Navigation menu |
| HMI tags, Connections | Tags, structures; communication connections | Tags, Connections |
| HMI alarms, Notifications | Alarm definitions; sending alarms by e-mail and SMS | Alarms, Notification center |
| Recipes, Historical data | Recipes (with the recipe design screens below them); archives | Recipes, Historical data |
| Scripts, Scheduled tasks, Cycles | Scripts, tasks, read cycles | Scripts, Tasks, Cycles |
| Reports, Performance Reports | Report definitions (with the report design screens below them); scheduled PDF / Excel reports calculated from the archive | Reports, Performance reports |
| Text and graphic lists, Languages and texts, User administration | Value → text mappings; languages; users and authorizations | Lists, Languages, Users |
123- OPC UA Server — shows an ON badge while enabled.
- Notifications — shows an ON badge while enabled.
- Performance Reports — the number of enabled plans.
1234567- Search — screen, group or section name.
- Expand all branches / the button next to it: Collapse all branches
- Collapse project tree
- 2D Screens — regular screens and templates.
- + — adds a new screen to this branch.
- Start screen — green play icon.
- Open screen — selected row.
Navigating the tree
- Opening: clicking a section or screen opens its editor in the workspace; if it is already open, it is brought to the front. The Station, Screens, 2D Screens, Faceplates and 3D Scenes nodes do not open an editor; they only expand and collapse the branch.
- Expanding / collapsing a branch: done with the arrow at the left of the row. The two buttons in the header (Expand all branches, Collapse all branches) expand or collapse all branches together; after collapsing, the project and station remain open.
- Indicators: a green play icon marks the start screen, a yellow star a favorite page. The red ✖ or orange ⚠ at the end of a row shows that there is an error / warning in that section or in the screens; the colored dots on the Connections row show the connection colors (tags are displayed in this color). While Remote monitoring, OPC UA Server and Notifications are on, an ON badge appears next to them; Performance Reports shows the number of enabled plans (2 PLANS). The rows do not show record counts; the counts are in the Overview and at the top right of the tables.
- + buttons in the rows: small buttons sit at the right of the rows where something can be added: a new screen / faceplate / 3D screen in a branch row, a new screen and a subgroup for that group in a screen group, a new group in a section that can be grouped, and a new design screen in Recipes and Reports. Hovering over a button shows what it adds. The same commands are also in the right-click menu and on the toolbar (Screen, Faceplate, 3D scene).
Search
As you type in the Search project: screen, group, section… box above the tree, the tree turns into a flat list of matching sections, groups and screens; each row shows where the item is located (such as Sayfalar › Hat_1). Esc clears the search. If there is no match, a message saying so appears in the tree area. Clicking a row opens the corresponding editor; if you click a screen group, the search is cleared and the position of the group in the tree is shown.
Groups (folders)
A group is a folder that you create in the tree to organize screens and table records. It does not affect how Live runs; it only provides organization within the project.
1234- Section — clicking it opens the table.
- Group — the folder that organizes the records.
- Connection colors — tags are shown in this color.
- + — adds a new group (subgroup).
- In which sections it occurs: Screens, HMI tags, Connections, HMI alarms, Recipes, Historical data, Scripts, Scheduled tasks, Reports and Text and graphic lists.
- Creating: the + button in the section row (Add new group), the right-click menu or the group bar above the table. The name may contain letters, digits, spaces,
_,-and.; the same name cannot be used twice at the same level. Groups can be nested. - In table sections: when you select a group, the table is filtered to the records of that group (and its subgroups), a Group column is added to the table and a Move to group button appears on the toolbar. A new row is created inside the selected group.
- For screens: the three branches (2D, faceplate and 3D) share the groups: a group appears in the branch for whichever type of screen it contains; a group with no screens appears in all branches. Recipe and report design screens are not put in groups; they are listed under the section they belong to.
- Deleting: when you delete a group, its contents are not deleted but moved up one level.
Right-click menus
| Node | Commands |
|---|---|
| Page | Open, Rename, Duplicate, Convert page to 3D… (on a 2D screen), Move to group ▸, Set as start screen, Add to favorites (Remove from favorites on a favorite page), Delete |
| Group | Add a new screen to this group, Add new faceplate to this group, Add a new 3D screen to this group, Add subgroup, Rename, Move to another group ▸, Delete group (in table sections the first command is Open) |
| Section | Open, Add new entry (in table sections), New design screen… (Recipes, Reports), Add new group |
| Project | Open, Project information…, Expand all, Collapse all |
| Empty area or Screens nodes | Add new screen, Add new faceplate, Add new 3D screen, Add new group; on an empty area, also expand / collapse |
Drag and drop
Move a screen or group by dragging and dropping it onto another group in the same section; dropping it onto the section node moves it to the root (no group). A group cannot be moved into itself or into its subgroup; if a group with the same name exists at the same level, the move is rejected.
Editor tabs
Open editors are kept in the tab row above the work area; the tab commands are described in Main window. The Show in project tree command in the tab's right-click menu opens the project tree, clears the search, expands the groups above the node and shows the row by briefly highlighting it.
