Mimics are stored in the ClearSCADA database as they contain hyperlinks and ‘live’ data that need to be continuously updated. In the following sections, we explain the various ways you can display a Mimic that is stored in the ClearSCADA database:
- Use the Database Bar to Display a Mimic
- Use an SQL Queries List to Display a Mimic
- Use a Mimic to Display another Mimic
- Use the Navigation Features to Display a Mimic
- Use the Favorites Feature to Display a Mimic
- Use a Go To link on a Form to Display a Mimic
- Use an Alarms List or Alarm Banner to Display a Mimic
- Use the WebX Database Page to Display a Mimic.
When you display a Mimic, it is shown in Run Mode or Design Mode, depending on the technique you used to display the Mimic, the permissions allocated to your User account, and the configuration of your User account. If you have the Configure permission for the Mimic, you can switch between Run Mode and Design Mode as required (see Run Mode and Design Mode).
