Links

Links are used to access other units, web pages or other web content.

Settings Tab

Label

Label is the name of the item as displayed in the Device Tree.

All items in the Device Tree are sorted alphabetically by label. Folders can be used to organize items.

URL

The URL of the link. Enter a complete URL including http:// if necessary. For links to other units, use the

format http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Do not include '/index.html' or '/index.pih'.

Display Node

The node ID of a graphic, schedule or trend to display on the linked unit. The node ID may be found on

the advanced tab of the nodes properties dialog on the target unit. Use 0 to display the default screen.

Open in new window

This opens the link in a new browser window.

Auto Login

Automatically log in to another unit using the current users name and password. The user must exist on

the linked unit and have the same name and password. This option should only be selected when linking

to other units, otherwise the link will not work properly.

Group Settings Tab

These determine which user groups can see this item in the tree. Unchecking the default “Allow Everyone”

enables selecting individual groups. If a group cannot see an item, items under it are also unseen.

There are “Check All” and “Uncheck All” buttons in the upper-right corner to make major changes easier.

Advanced Tab

Name

Name is used for advanced features. If left blank, it will be assigned automatically. It is recommended

that the default value not be changed. It can be up to 48 characters. Only A–Z, a–z, 0–9, period (.) and

underscore (_) are allowed. Names are case sensitive.

The login message is informational text that will appear on the Info page. It could be a welcome

message, helpful instructions or site-specific information.

Type the desired text and click the “Apply” button to update the Info screen. The length of the message

can be huge — limited only by the amount of memory available in the BASview.
