4. In the Process Overview display, the operator presses a return to display button.

Which display opens? The Process Monitoring 1 display (because this was the
previously opened display).

To return to the Main Menu display from the Process Overview display, the operator
would have to press a Goto display button that is set up to open the Main Menu
display.

Close display buttons

When the operator presses a close display button at run time, the graphic display that the
button is on closes. You can set up the button to write out a value when the display closes.

If the graphic display that is closing is a Replace display, and the display change is
controlled remotely, the display does not close. If the display does not close, the close
value, if any, is not written out.

If the display change is controlled by the operator and the graphic display that is closing is
a Replace display, if there are no On Top displays open, an empty window is shown. The
operator will not be able to use the application again (unless a remote display change
occurs or an alarm, activity, or information message display opens).

We therefore recommend that you use close display buttons in On Top displays only.

For information about setting up close display buttons, see Help.

Display list selectors

Use the display list selector to show a list of graphic displays that the operator can choose
from. The operator can scroll through the list and select the graphic display to open.

The specified display doesn’t open if the operator does not have security access for the
display.

You can also assign a parameter file or parameter list that assigns tags to tag placeholders
in the display when the display opens. For more information about parameter files and
lists, see Chapter 25.

For information about setting up display list selectors, see Help.
