You can also type a description of the button. This helps you
identify the object when you create reports. You can enter a name
of up to 15 characters. When you assign a name to an object, you
increase the application’s size by one byte per character.

2. In the Name field, type

goto reports.

In the Button Type field you can select whether you want to
create a Goto Screen button or a Return to Previous Screen
button. Since Goto Screen is selected by default, you don’t need
to make any changes here.

In the Goto Screen field select the screen you want to assign to
the button.

3. Click the arrow beside the Goto Screen field. From the

drop-down list, select 50 Report.

If you’re creating applications for a keypad terminal, you must
also assign a function key.

4. Click the arrow beside the Function Key field. From the

drop-down list, select 12.

5. Choose OK to accept the changes.

6. Close the dialog box.

You’ve created and configured your first application screen object.
Now you must create the second Goto Screen button to call up the
Alarm History screen.
