Our first stop in the new page wizard requires us to choose a data source (historical archive or real time) and a display format (alphanumeric or graph). NOTE: Because alphanumeric pages only show a single value for each point, the Next button will be unavailable if you try to use a historical archive as the data source for an alphanumeric page. |
 |
The second wizard panel offers a selection of page layout options. Here we can choose which columns we'd like to see, what order they should be presented and even if there should be column headers or not. Sometimes, an option like hiding column headers sounds odd, but later in life, when you're trying to cram too much information in too little space, you'll understand. The value format allows you to have the analog values formatted according to a standard (database) rule, or using a general format to see the maximum number of significant digits. |

Alphanumeric pages are currently limited to a maximum of 50 points each, mostly for common sense reasons. For one, that's about all that fit on a printed page. And for another, how many points do you need to display that must always be scrolled out of view due to display size limits? You may also insert blank lines into your point set to help group things on the alphanumeric page. The Move Up and Move Down buttons move the currently highlighted point (or blank line) up/down. |
 |
This is the actual point selection dialog. It allows you to specifiy a specific building and unit whose points you want to select. The selected point list includes a count (in this case (4) is the count) to help you know when you're reaching the limit for a particular page type. Alpha pages are limited to 50 and graphs are limited to 12 points each. |
 |
OK, now that you've chosen the points you want to see, all you need to do is press finish to have recall display subscribe to the data and start displaying it for you. The reason for this step is to provide a last chance to use the Back button to move backward through the wizard to make any corrections that might be necessary. |
