5–10 PanelBuilder Basics
Publication 2711-6.0
PanelBuilder uses a spreadsheet editor to:
•
edit states of multistate and list objects
•
view and edit all text in the application
•
edit alarms and triggers
The conventions of using the spreadsheet are the same regardless of
what PanelBuilder operation you are performing.
Each row defines data for one state of a multistate or list object, one
alarm, one trigger or one text string in the application. Each cell
represents one field of data in a row.
Some cells require you to:
•
enter text
•
select an option from a drop-down list
•
click a box to toggle an option on (✕) or off
