One interesting feature in the software platform is the ability to use Categories to organize and group items on runtime, such as variables, alarms, and trends. Here is how you can use Categories:
Create a Category
To create a category, go to the Project Explorer, right-click on the Categories folder, and select "Add Category". Give the category a name and description, then click OK.
Assign Items to Categories
To assign items to a category, select the item in the Project Explorer, go to the Properties window, and select the Category tab. From there, you can select the category you want to assign the item to.
Display Categories on the runtime
To display categories on the runtime, you can use the Category Navigator widget. To add the Category Navigator widget, go to the Toolbox, select the Category Navigator widget, and drag and drop it onto the runtime screen.
Organize the Display of Categories
You can customize the display of categories on the runtime by adjusting the properties of the Category Navigator widget. For example, you can set the width and height of the widget, change the font size and color, and specify the order in which categories are displayed.
By using Categories you can organize and group items on runtime, making it easier to manage and navigate through large and complex projects.
You can create a dictionary of Categories to allow classification of engineering objects. Most configuration tables have the Category column, where you can apply one or more categories to that object.
Create user-defined categories labels that you can use as tag metadata. Categories are useful for filtering when creating the project and during runtime.
- Go to Project → Categories.
- Add and edit the desired categories for this project.
In order to apply a Category to a Tag or any other object:
- Open the DataGrid Configuration Table for that object.
- Set the column Category to be visible.
- Edit the contents of that column. It is possible to select multiple rows.
Using Categories on Runtime
The object categories can also be accessed during runtime for filtering and other custom applications from Category.
A list of all the categories that are defined in the project during runtime is available in the property Server.Categories.
