Global Navigation
 It is logical to include a ‘Take’ button on suffix templates used by source categories. It is not
logical to include a ‘Take’ button on suffix templates used by destination categories.
However, if a suffix template can be used for either sources or destinations, then a ‘Take’
button is at your discretion.
The operator can use a ‘Clear Preset’ button to cancel a mistaken entry and start over.
Every suffix template must have a ‘Back’ button, and may have a ‘Take’ button, a ‘Clear Preset’
button, or a ‘Hold’ button. There are no other button types. You can duplicate buttons. The
arrangement of the “keypad” is at your discretion.
Template Changes
If you make a change to a suffix template and it is in use (you’ll see the entries in the list) you’ll
probably want to click ‘Push changes to panel configs’. When you do, the configuration software
adjusts all NV9641A panel configurations to use the modified suffix template. This might over-
ride changes you have made to the copy of the suffix page in some panel configuration.
If you make a change to a suffix template and it is in use by one or more panel configurations,
you will want to click ‘Push changes to panel configs’. You can see the panel configurations in
the list under ‘Panel References’:
When you click ‘Push changes to panel configs’, the configuration software adjusts all panel
configurations to use the modified suffix template.
If you want to update the suffix page in only some of your panel configurations, create an alter-
nate version of your suffix template and change the panel configurations to use one or the other
as desired.
Composing Navigate Templates
Composing a navigate template is not substantially different from composing panel configura-
tions. The only difference is that navigate templates do not have ‘Global Navigation’ buttons.
Usage differs, however. Navigate templates can be referenced by panel configurations. And that
is the point: you can create multiple panel configurations that, because they reference a navi-
gate template, can all be guaranteed to include the same button pages.
(Navigation templates themselves are not panel configurations.)
