User’s Guide
When you create a ‘Global Navigate’ button, the button definition has a ‘Navigation Btn’ field:
Choose a navigate template in that field. The global navigation page and any of its subpages
appears in the panel configuration’s button page list:
 The global navigation pages are copies made from the navigate template. They are not the
template or a link to the template. The ‘Global Navigate’ buttons in the panel configuration
that reference a navigate template do have links to their templates.
The global navigation template provides all the button types available for panel configurations
except additional ‘Global Navigate’ buttons. Otherwise, a global navigation page is functionally
identical to a navigation page.
A global navigation page should at least have a back button.
Composing Suffix Templates
Suffix templates have only a few button types. Essentially what you can do with a suffix
template is create a “keypad.” This is an example:
The keypad itself (the first 12 buttons here) consists of ‘Category’ buttons. The designation
“category button” has little relation to “category buttons” in panel configurations. Here, the cate-
gory button simply places a numeral or a suffix on the button page. The two buttons labeled
‘ABC’ and ‘DEF’ yield suffixes. When the operator presses a numeral or a suffix, the numeral or
suffix is appended to the name of the device being identified.
 Alphanumeric suffixes are typically single characters.
 It is an NV9000-SE Utilities feature that certain numerals become disabled if there is no
device index in the category that contains that numeral. It is possible for all numerals to be
disabled. For example, if there are 23 devices in the category that caused the suffix page to
be displayed, then after the operator presses two numerals, all further entry is disabled.
