Chapter 3 Lookout Runtime Menu Commands

Window»More Windows

If you have too many control panels to fit in the Window menu, the More

Windows command appears at the bottom of the Window menu. The

indow»More Windows command pops up a dialog box you can use to

scroll through the control panel titles and select the window to display by

double-clicking on the panel title.

Run Commands

Run»Add

Security Level: 9

Shortcut Keys: none

The R

un»Add command adds up to ten DOS-style commands to the run

submenu list. Operators subsequently invoke these commands with a click

of the mouse—without leaving Lookout. For instance, you might want to

print a custom report on demand. The following example loads Excel and

runs the macro

daily.xlm, which pulls historical data off the hard drive,

places it into a preconfigured report template, and sends it to the printer.

Consult your Excel documentation for more information on writing your

macros.

The Security level setting applies to any command you add or revise. This

means you can configure multiple commands, some of which may only be

invoked by high level operators. The following illustration shows the Run

menu with the Daily Report item added.
