Check the

User Account Passwords Using Double Byte Character Sets
Double-byte characters cannot be directly entered in the password field in FINlite. In
FINlite there are password fields whenever a connection is being made to a panel.
You have the following options for passwords:
● Use only single byte characters for user account passwords. This option does not
require special procedures to enter the user account password in FINlite.
● Use double byte characters for user account passwords. This option requires
copying the characters from another field (such as the user name field) or another
application (such as Notepad) and pasting the characters into the password field in
FINlite. The location from which the characters are copied must support viewing of
the double byte characters appropriately.
Creating Graphics
Click the
Components bar in the left Navigation pane to open the Components area of
the FINlite application.
Once a component is edited and customized, it is called a
Model . Once a Model is
saved, it can be reused in multiple graphics files.
The
Layers bar in the left navigation pane allows you to layer the components in a
specific order. For instance, in a Graphics file, the Air Handler Unit (AHU) template
may be on the bottom-most layer while all of the AHU elements represented by the
components may be on the middle layer, with the labels on the top layer. Be sure to
layer the background image first, and then layer buttons and labels on top. If the
background is layered on top of a button, for example, the button won’t function
properly.
