Edit the Contents of OLE objects
Some source applications permit in-place activation, which means that if
you double-click the OLE object, the source application opens, displays its
menus and commands through the ProcessBook menu bar, and permits you
to edit the object in place within FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook. Other
source applications open a new window for editing when you double-click
the OLE object.
You can edit OLE object contents in either Run or Build mode.
Edit the Contents of an Embedded Object
You cannot edit an embedded object by opening the source application first
because the embedded object is not a separate file. Instead, open the source
application from within the embedded object in the ProcessBook display.
Edit the Contents of a Linked Object
To edit the contents of a linked object, either double-click the object or
open the source application and make changes. These are immediately
reflected in the ProcessBook display if it is open; otherwise the changes
appear the next time you open the ProcessBook display.
When editing a linked object file, remember that the file may also be an
object in other applications besides FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook.
In addition, you can reach the source application through the Links dialog
box.
1. Click Edit > Links. The Links dialog box appears.
2. Click the appropriate link.
3. Click Open Source to open the source file.
