PxViewTag properties

Double-click a PxViewTag for its property sheet (Figure 30).

Figure 30. PxViewTag property sheet example

PxViewTag properties are described as follows:

Status

Read-only status of the export tag, typically “ok”, unless “disabled” (Enabled=false).
Enabled

Whether the PxViewTag will attempt an export on the next Join (true, the default) or not (false).
Supervisor Station

Click the drop-down control to select the NiagaraStation that represents the Supervisor (with enabled JoinProfile).
After selection, you must Save before you can use the folder (Select Parent Target) feature of the next property. Also, add (and delete ) controls exist to specify more than one Supervisor station; however, this configuration is rarely expected.
Station Slot Path

Parent slot path for the exported PxView on the Supervisor, relative to the NiagaraStation that represents this station. In the case of multiple Supervisor stations, this applies only to the first (top) one.
- You can manually type a path, to create corresponding folders under the NiagaraStation (that represents this JACE) on the Supervisor. This includes use of “BFormat” %value% options. For example: slot:MyViews/RTU_1 or slot:points/%networkFolderPath%
  The default “slot:” puts the SubstitutePxView on the NiagaraStation component.
  
  See Station Slot Path considerations and BFormat options in Station Slot Paths.
- Or, click the folder for a Select Parent Target dialog, and navigate to the desired folder or container. In this case, you must have already made (and saved) the needed folders in the JACE’s station “profile.bog” file.
  You can edit the “profile.bog file” to add folders—see Verify and edit the Station (.bog) File for details.
PxView

The name of the local PxView that will be exported to the Supervisor station, at the slot parent slot path above. Click the drop-down control for a list of available PxViews.
Required Permissions

Required user permissions to access the exported PxView. Click the double-arrow control for the Edit Permissions dialog (Figure 31). Default permissions are operator read (r).

Figure 31. Edit Permissions dialog for PxViewTag
Order Number

Specifies the PxView priority order on the target parent slot in the Supervisor station, where 0 (default) is the lowest priority—any other positive integer value has a higher priority. This is useful if you use multiple PxViewTags to export to the same Supervisor parent. In this case, assign each PxViewTag a different order number. The “highest” ordered one will be the default view, and so on.
Create File Import

Boolean to specify if to automatically create a Niagara FileImport descriptor in the Supervisor to support referenced graphics; the default is true. Other file import-related properties follow.
File Import Name

Name of the Niagara FileImport descriptor to create on the Supervisor, if needed. The default variable %defaultFileImportName% creates an import descriptor named:

sourceParentName_sourcePxViewName_Import

For example, if a container named “AHU1” in the JACE has an exported PxView named “Graphic”, the Niagara FileImport descriptor created on the Supervisor is named AHU1_Graphic_Import.
File Import Overwrite Policy

Standard property for Niagara FileImport descriptors, it determines the policy used to overwrite imported files on the Supervisor with changed source files on the JACE, when the file import executes. The default is Checksum (differing), with Last Modified as the other choice.
File Import Execution Time

Standard import execution time selections for Niagara FileImport descriptors, including Manual (default) or either Daily or Interval, where the latter two have various selection fields.
File Import Use Category Mask

Boolean to specify if CategoryFilters defined in the Supervisor should be applied to any file(s) imported by this PxViewTag. The default value is true.
Supervisor Px File Directory

Specifies the file ord to use in the Supervisor station’s file space for copied px files. The default uses ord variables as: file:^stations$(stationName)$(currentLocation), the latter of which duplicates the source (JACE) file organization under the stations/stationName/ folder.
Supervisor Px File Media Directory

Specifies the file ord to use in the Supervisor station’s file space for copied images files. The default uses ord variables as: file:^stations$(stationName)$(currentLocation), the latter of which duplicates the source (JACE) file organization under the stations/stationName/ folder.
Although a Supervisor typically has a vastly greater capacity to store image files (and px files, above) than does a JACE, in some cases you may wish to edit these two “Directory” properties to known file ords on the Supervisor, to prevent unnecessary duplication of the same files.
Substitute Override Ords

Provides a View control and dialog to choose bound ords in the source Px file and override them with substitute or new ords. The typical application is to replace hyperlink ords that are no longer “in context” when viewing the dynamic (exported) PxView in the Supervisor station.
