To add PxViewTags

1. Drag the PxViewTag from the exportTags palette onto the folder or container with the original PxView.

   The Name dialog appears, in which you can accept “PxViewTag”, or enter another name, and click OK. Note the resulting PxView on the Supervisor uses the name of the referenced PxView, and not this name.

2. Double-click the PxViewTag to access its property sheet.

   1. In the Supervisor Station property, click the control and select the Supervisor station, then click Save.

   2. For Station Slot Path, do either of the following:

      • Enter a desired slot path to use on the Supervisor station for the folder to have this PxView. For example, if you enter slot:Ground_Floor/AHU2

        Upon a Join, at the Supervisor station, this Px view will be put on a folder at this location:

        

        Note “BFormat” variables are an alternative, and can save engineering time. See Station Slot Path considerations and BFormat options in Station Slot Paths.

        Or, (if desired) use the station “profile.bog” file method”, described next.

      • Click open folder, for the Select Parent Target dialog. Expand the niagaraStation and select a target folder for the PxView to appear in the Supervisor station (default puts the PxView on the root of the NiagaraStation).

        You may edit the “profile.bog file” to specify a new target folder structure—see Verify and edit the station profile.bog file for details.

   3. In the Px View property, click the control and select the PxView for export, by name.

3. Remaining properties of the PxViewTag are often left at defaults, noting briefly:

   • Required Permissions — is Operator read (r) by default, click the control to change.

   • Order Number — is 0 default. If assigning multiple PxViewTags to the same target station slot path, assign a different order number to each one, to specify menu order of the views. The menu displays the views “highest number first”, that is, order number 2 above number 1 above number 0.

   • File related properties (Create File Import, and File Import Name, Overwrite Policy, Execution Time, Execution Time, Use Category Mask) relate to FileImportTags that may be created automatically in support of the PxView export.

   • Supervisor Px File Directory (and Media Directory) properties specify the Supervisor folder locations for associated imported px and image files, respectively. Default values use “ord variables” to duplicate the same folder organization on the JACE.

   • Substitute Override Ords — provides a popup View dialog in which you can edit “substitute ords” used in the PxView to be created on the Supervisor, using the “Choose from Px” feature. In many scenarios, this may be useful to change hyperlink destinations in Px bindings.

4. Click Save after finishing all property changes.
