Default Settings

It is recommended that you use the following settings as your default settings for all

graphics.

A FIN Builder graphic's default poll rate interval is one (1) second. This means that the

graphic will attempt to obtain the current value for each bound point every second. For

some systems, this may be too frequent. The recommended poll rate interval is 15

seconds.

By default, FIN Builder is set to Basic Mode. It is recommended that you set FIN

Builder to Advanced Mode in order to access all of the available FIN Builder features

and components.

These settings can be saved as default settings and will apply to all new graphics.

To adjust these settings:

1. Select the canvas (graphic background).

2. In the properties settings, adjust the poll rate to the desired value.

3. Change the mode to Advanced Mode.

4. To make this the default for every graphic, select the Make Default button after

adjusting the poll rate.

Logoff Management

To ensure proper logoff management of Web sessions at the field panel, a logoff

button should be added to each graphic.

Creating a Logoff Button Model

Logoff button that returns you to the Landing Page:

1. Place a Button component from the Controls Palette on the canvas.

2. Modify the properties of the Button component to fit the needs of your graphic (that

is, Up/Over/Down color, Up/Over/Down label, corner style, etc.).

3. Select the + button in the Mapping pane to create a local Boolean point.

4. In the properties of this point, do
