The ViewX interface contains windows that you can arrange to suit your preferences. The interface supports two types of windows:
- Tool Window (used for displaying interface components such as the Explorer Bars and the Messages Window)
- Document Window (used for displaying Mimics, Lists, Trends, Reports, configuration Forms, and so on).
The available arrangement options are described in the following topics:
A customized arrangement of windows is stored locally as a client setting, and is associated with the user account that is active when the customization is performed. This includes the Guest user account if the customization is performed without logging on.
This means that your most recent arrangement of windows is restored whenever you log on to the same computer. If no one is logged on, the most recent arrangement for the Guest user account is displayed.
Be aware that your user account settings may impact your ability to view multiple displays simultaneously (see Define the General Settings for a User in ViewX in the ClearSCADA Guide to Security) and view some Explorer windows (see Define which Explorer Bars a User can Access in ViewX in the ClearSCADA Guide to Security).
NOTE: The Alarm Banner has a unique set of configuration options. For more information, see The Alarm Banner in the ClearSCADA Guide to Alarms.
