Elements Management

Right-clicking on an element within a scenario presents multiple options.

Select all scenario elements of the current Context​

By right-clicking anywhere within the context and selecting “Select all”, you can choose every element of the context:

This proves highly beneficial for moving all elements at once.

Select all elements with same type​

This feature enables the selection of all elements within the context that are of the same type. Simply right-click on any element and choose “Select all with same type”:

Duplication​

Duplicating an element which has elements attached to it will also result in the duplication of those attached elements.

Right-click on the element and select “duplicate”:

The copied element will be displayed within the context:

You possess the capability to organize objects in a designated sequence. This ordering dictates the arrangement of scenario elements, specifying which are positioned at the forefront or the back.

You can modify the websocket for all mapping instances linked to one or several elements within the scenario.

However, this alteration is restricted to websockets utilizing the same executable.

Copy to another HMI Context​

Copy to another HMI context

You can replicate one or several elements of a scenario from one HMI context to another HMI context.

Edit common parameters​

When multiple elements are selected, you can modify shared parameters by right-clicking on one of these elements.

Edit common parameters

This action triggers a pop-up titled "Edit common scenario element parameters," which displays a list of parameters that have identical labels and are shared across all selected elements.

Edit common parameters

To alter a parameter, tick the corresponding checkbox and enter a new value. After completing your changes, click on "Ok" to apply them.

Delete scenario element(s)​

Utilizing this feature will remove all elements selected within the context:

Deleting a owner element will also result in the removal of all its attached elements.
