You can define the user view for Desigo room automation as follows:
● Define a structure for the user view
● Copy Desigo room automation objects into the user view
● Define UDs that can be used as object names
System view
The system view shows the standard system hierarchy (BACnet view):
● Network, topology
● Device and third-party device view
● Flat representation (no hierarchy) of all BACnet objects in one device
The system view provides access to all BACnet devices (including third-party
BACnet devices) and all BACnet objects. A third-party client displays this view
of a PX device.
The system view is used in the PXM20 only for third-party devices.
Program view
The engineering and program view corresponds to the XWP/ABT view. The
structure is matched to the automation station. Within an automation station,
the view is program oriented: nested CFC charts (compounds) and function
block instances.

Flexible object name / device ID engineering
You can flexibly generate the object name during engineering in XWP. This is
called the Free Designation (FD). However, the FD has no inherent hierarchical
structure, which makes it tedious to engineer and lowers its helpfulness to
orientate in larger buildings. It should thus be considered as a naming type for
very special purposes only.
Flexible object name engineering causes a greater engineering effort and must
thus be requested specifically by the customer.
Each BACnet object has an object name for identification on the BACnet
network. This object name must be unique within the automation station. The
Technical Designation (TD) is used as default for the object names. The TD is a
technical identifier and is used to identify the plant and associated elements in
the technical view.
You can select how the object name is created for each standard BACnet
object. This especially applies to BACnet multivendor projects, where a special
object name structure is required.
