Item Definition
Use the Item Definition button in either Build or Run mode when you
want to see what tags and formatting options were used in any symbol that
uses a dialog box for basic configuration. It is the same as double-clicking
on the item with the Build mode pointer. If the symbol does not have a
definition dialog box, the button is dimmed. You can change the selections
and save the new definition. This button does not open any of the
formatting dialog box boxes (for example, Font or Color).
Display or Change Item Definition
To display or change an item definition:
1. In either Build or Run mode, open a display.
2. Double-click the dynamic symbol whose definition you would like to
change (such as a value, bar, trend, or button).
-or-
Click the symbol, then on the Formatting toolbar, click the Item
Definition button. A definition dialog box displays that corresponds to
the symbol you selected:
If the Item Definition button appears dimmed the symbol you selected
may not have a definition dialog box.
3. In the appropriate dialog box, make your changes to the item's
definition, and then click OK. These changes are saved with the
symbol.
