NOTE:
Do not select Continue, which will relativize the graphic to the original field panel used
for creation. The graphic will not function properly once it is published to the
destination panel.
6. Double-click the cell under the New Host column and enter the IP address of the
field panel where you plan to publish the graphic.
7. Click Continue.
8. Make modifications to the graphic.
9. From the File menu, select Publish to publish the modified graphic to the desired
field panel.
WARNING
Modifying the ApplicationMC.finp graphic is not recommended.
This is the parent graphic for Application MC and it will be overwritten the next time
Application MC is deployed.
When customizing an application graphic, publish the graphic using a different name
than the original to ensure that your graphic will not be overwritten when a newer
version of Application MC is deployed. For example,
APP_6575.finp becomes
Custom_APP_6575.finp.
Customizing applications and customizing application graphics involves working with
the
ApplicationMC_Mapping.xml file. See the Application MC Mapping File [➙ 24]
section for information on the different options for customization.
WARNING
Once an Application MC graphic has been modified, the graphic is treated as a Kiosk
graphic rather than an Application MC graphic.
Without the appropriate license, the graphic will display with an
UNLICENSED
watermark. See the FIN Builder Prerequisites section for more information.
