Creating a Px view canvas
You may create and delete Px views using the Slot Sheet view. However, the easiest way to create a new canvas for a Px view on a component is to use the New Px View wizard.
When you create a view, you are creating a relationship between a Px file and a component. The Px file defines the view, which may be associated with one or more components of various types, such as folders and points.
You can assign an existing Px file to the view instead of creating a new one.
Perform the following steps:
- In the Nav tree, right-click a component and click .The New Px View wizard opens.
- Enter a
View Name.Unless you specify a different name, the wizard assigns a default Px File name. - Carefully select the
Target Media.Choosing a type of media has specific benefits when using the Px Editor to create a new view on a component for the first time.In
HxPx Mediatakes full advantage of the HTML5 functionality, which provides a significantly improved mobile user experience.NOTE: Media values affect the initial contents of a Px file when you create it. Changing a view’s Media type (on a component Property Sheet) after the Px file is created does not actually change the Px file. - To finish, click the OK button.The wizard creates a new Px file in the station’s
Filesfolder and names it based on theView Nameproperty. The wizard then opens the canvas for the new Px view in the Px Editor.
