Views
In this document, child windows opened within Sitespan are referred to as ‘views’. Thus,
in Figure 15 the active child window relating to the Shelf is referred to as a Shelf View.
Views may be minimised and appear as small icons at the bottom of the parent window.
The views provide the mechanism for displaying information to the user. Any
combination of views may be displayed, although the user can only manipulate one of
them at any one time (referred to as the active window). Windows that are open but not
active will still display changes generated by the program software; for example, a
change of status or alarm condition.
Information is entered into Sitespan either by directly typing into
boxes for labelling or by the use of drop windows that show all
the available options. Click the mouse on the arrow to the right of
the box to see the list of options available for selection.
Activate check boxes by pointing the mouse into the box and
clicking the left mouse button
Radio Buttons toggle between options. The chosen option appears
with a dot. To change options point and click the left mouse button
in the alternative field
