Setting up a navigation file

The onscreen Px view serves as the home page for the display user. When a person turns the display on, it defaults to this page. You need a separate .nav file for each display.
Prerequisites: You are working in Workbench connected to the controller station.
  1. Create a folder under the station’s Files node named Nav.
    Nav files must reside under the Files node. They are not stored in the station database.
  2. To create a new .nav file, right-click the Files node and click New > NewFile.nav.
    The Name for New File window opens.
  3. Give the .nav file a name, click OK and expand the Files node.
  4. To associate the .nav file with the onscreen display, double-click the file name, select the slot and click Edit.
    The Edit window opens.

  5. Click the folder icon and use the File Ord Chooser to select the location of the display folder.
    In the example, this location is: station:|slot:/Services/AlarmService/AndroidIntrusionDisplay/AndroidView.
The next procedure creates an display role.
