Customizing the User Interface
You can customize the OpenLNS CT user interface. You can change the title block that opens on each
page of an OpenLNS CT drawing, and the commands that appear on the OpenLNS CT menus.
Editing the Title Block
You can change the title block that opens on each page of an OpenLNS CT drawing. The default
OpenLNS CT templates create a title block at the bottom right corner of each page. The title block
provides the following information about the drawing: drawing title, page number, name of the
drawing’s creator, date the drawing was created, full file name of the drawing, and a brief description
of the drawing or network.
To edit the title block, open the Edit menu, point to Go To, and select Background. Select the part of
the title block you want to edit (no cursor opens) and then enter the information you want displayed.
To return to the main drawing, open to the Edit menu, point to Go To, and select Foreground. The
changes you made to the title block are displayed.
Tip: You can use the same method to add your company logo to your OpenLNS CT drawing.
Using OpenLNS CT SmartShape Menus
You can change the appearance of the OpenLNS CT shortcut menus. You can select either a
hierarchical menu that removes Visio commands not typically used with OpenLNS CT SmartShapes,
or you can select a flat menu that includes all Visio SmartShape commands. The hierarchical menus
provide a compact top-level shortcut menu for each OpenLNS CT SmartShape with hierarchical
sub-menus. For example, the device SmartShape menu has sub-menus for commissioning, moving,
managing, and plug-ins, and the commissioning sub-menu contains the commands for commissioning,
decommissioning, loading, and replacing devices; propagating configuration property values; and
resynchronizing configuration properties. The hierarchal OpenLNS CT shortcut menus are set by
default. To enable or disable hierarchal OpenLNS CT shortcut menus, click Add-ins, point to
OpenLNS CT, and then select or clear the Use OpenLNS CT Shape Menus option.
