Icons vs. Graphics
You may choose to have embedded or linked objects displayed either as
graphic representations or as icons. An icon uses the minimum area of your
display and would be appropriate for reference material, such as
definitions.
The icon for the source application appears unless you select another one.
Choosing an icon to represent a linked file results in a slightly smaller
ProcessBook file size. Choosing icons for embedded objects does not
reduce ProcessBook file size.
Embed in FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook
Objects may be created within a FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook
display by the source application and then stored as embedded objects.
Alternatively, you may create objects from existing files or parts of files. In
addition, you can embed an object by dragging or pasting it from another
application.
