3.3.5 ScreenSecurity
Using security settings for screens makes it possible to restrict access to screens
based on user security groups, similarly to object security.
It is not possible to set security for the Startup screen.
When using a background screen, the security settings of the top level screen are
applied.
When screens are imported from other iX Developer projects or from
Information Designer, security settings are included and will be used in the
current project.

3.3.6 PopupScreen
Normally, only one screen is visible in the operator panel in runtime. Sometimes, a
popup screen that behaves like as a floating window may be useful. Any screen can
be configured as a popup screen:
1.
Check Popup screen in the Screen group of the General tab.
2.
Set the start position coordinates (X, Y) to determine
where the screen will
open. The position (1,1) corresponds to the upper lef
t corner of the screen.
3.
Set the desired width and height in pixels of the screen resolution.
Clicking Modify Screen Size/Position allows changing the popup screen
size and position by dragging it with the cursor. The coordinates are updated
automatically.
ModalPopupScreen
Checking the Modal option makes the selected popup screen modal, which means
that the user cannot interact with other screens while this screen is visible. All
other screens will still be updated.
