Standard control buttons
Many views include a row of almost square, control buttons along the top of the view. While some control buttons in each view
serve specific, view-related functions, a number of these buttons are present in almost every view. The documentation for
an individual view may or may not include a description of these buttons.
Figure 2. Control buttons example
Control buttons are context sensitive to the data and type of view. Tool tips identify the function of each control button. Buttons are dimmed when the function is unavailable. These are the most common buttons that may not be defined in the topics that follow:
Add opens a view or window for creating a new record in the database.
Assign Mode buttons open and close the Unassigned pane.
Column Chooser opens the Columns for... view from which you can add data columns to, remove them from, and reorder them in the current table.
Delete removes the selected record (row) from the database table. This button is available when you select an item.
Discover opens the Discover window, which defines the database search. Based on this information, the discovery job interrogates
the target location for data, such as historical and current point values as well as properties provided by the database.
Duplicate opens a New window and populates each property with properties from the selected item. Using this button speeds
the item creation.

Edit opens the Edit window.
Export opens the Export window for creating a PDF or CSV formatted report of the current table.
Filter buttons open the Filters window, which defines a query action for limiting the output visible in tables and reports.
The gray version indicates unfiltered data. The red version indicates filtered data.
Hyperlink links to the edit view or window for the selected item. It is the same as double-clicking the table row. This button
is available when a single record is selected.

etc.).

view.

on any row in a table opens the Summary tab, which contains the same information as the Summary window.
