default ProcessBook may open automatically when you start FactoryTalk Historian

Open, you may select a file name from the bottom of the File menu.

Work With Multiple ProcessBooks

You can work in multiple ProcessBooks and/or independent display files at
the same time. Open additional ProcessBooks using the File menu.

Use the Windows menu to select the ProcessBook title and switch
among them.

Click inside a ProcessBook window to make it active.

Switch among the open windows by pressing CTRL+F6.

Add ProcessBook Entries

After creating a ProcessBook, the next step is to add individual entries. By
arranging and combining displays and other entry types, you can create a
complete working environment for plant personnel.

You can add entry titles to a ProcessBook and then complete the detailed

design of the entries later.

There are five specific types of entries:

Text (page 43) - provides headings or static information.

Display (page 43) - opens a display.

Linked displays (page 43) - links to an independent display file.
