Add a ViewX Display to your Favorites List

You can add entries for many types of ViewX display to your Favorites List. Once a display’s link has been added to your Favorites List, you can use the link to access that display via the Favorites Bar. You can also add entries to your Favorites List that allow you to view multiple ViewX displays simultaneously.

To add single or multiple displays (such as Trends, Mimics, Reports, and/or Lists) to your Favorites List:

1. Use the Database Bar to locate the ViewX display(s) that you want to add to your Favorites List.
2. Double-click on each item you require (for example, a Trend).
   The item (for example, a Trend) is displayed.
3. If you want to:
   • Add an entry for a single ViewX display to your Favorites List, go to step 4.
   • Add an entry to your Favorites List that enables you to display several ViewX displays simultaneously:
     • If your user account allows you to display more than one ‘document’ (display) simultaneously in ViewX, repeat steps 1 and 2 until the other required displays are open in ViewX.

   NOTE: Be aware that a WebX client can only display one window at a time. As such, any Favorites that comprise multiple documents will be unavailable for display in WebX.

4. Display the Favorites Bar (see Display an Explorer Bar in ViewX).
5. Select the Add button at the top of the Favorites Bar.

   

   The Add Favorite window is displayed.

   

6. Optionally use the Name field to rename the entry. The text in this field is the text that will appear as an entry in your Favorites Bar.
7. Use the Type field to specify how many of the documents that are presently on display in ViewX are to be included in the new entry in your Favorites List.

   Choose from:

   • Current Window Only—This is the default option. Only the document that is currently selected in ViewX will be displayed whenever you select this Favorite from your Favorites List.
   • Current Window and Insets—Reserved for future use. Do not use.
   • All Windows—All of the documents that are currently on display in ViewX will be displayed whenever you select this Favorite from your Favorites List.

     This option is only applicable if your user account allows you to display multiple ‘documents’ (Mimics, Trends, and so on) in ViewX.

     Example:

     Two Mimics, a Logic diagram, and a pre-configured Trend are displayed in ViewX.

     The All Windows option is used to add the displays to Favorites. Whenever the Favorites entry is selected, all of the documents are displayed as docked windows.

8. In the Create In field, select the folder to which you want to add the new Favorite.

   (Select the New Folder button if you want to create a new folder to hold the Favorite.)

Select the OK button to confirm your settings and close the Add Favorite window.

Your Favorites List will now include the entry that you have added
