Link buttons to objects
Some FactoryTalk ® View buttons can be linked to specific trend, list, recipe, and alarm
banner objects, or you can set them up to work with whichever object has focus in the
display.
If you are creating small graphic displays, you might prefer to use one set of buttons to
work with all the display’s graphic objects that accept input focus.
By default, the buttons are set up to work with whichever object has input focus (is
selected) in the display.
This trend object
has focus.
These move up and
