Primary and Secondary Selections
When you select a graphics object from System Browser, the Graphics Viewer
displays the representative graphic. The selected object is considered the primary
selection. The object properties also display in the Property Viewer. The graphic
that has the primary selection displays the name of the graphic according to your
Display selection in the System Browser, in the upper, left-hand corner of the
primary pane. If any children of the primary selection are selected in the Graphics
Viewer, the child name is added to the display name.
If you left-click on a Symbol on a graphic, the referenced object of the Symbol
becomes the secondary selection. As a result the display of the Operations tab in
the Contextual pane changes to correspond to the new selection. The System
Browser, however, still displays the original, primary selection, to show your
starting point.
When you select an object from System Browser that is associated with a graphic,
the Graphics Viewer displays the representative graphic and the object’s
associated Symbol on the graphic is selected. As a result, the Operations tab
displays the object properties to correspond to the selection.
Double-clicking on a Symbol on a graphic makes the referenced object associated
with the Symbol the primary selection in System Browser, and all workflows are
updated accordingly.
4.2 Commanding
The Status and Commands window displays on a graphic, allowing you to change
the current state of an object’s properties in your building control system. Access to
objects is based upon the object privileges and privilege profiles set for you by your
system administrator.
About Properties and Commanding
You change the current state of a property by commanding it. Once you command
a property, the status of the command displays for the selected object. If the
command fails, the reason for the failure displays so that you can take further
action.
Examples of common commands:
 Acknowledge
 Change command priority
 Coldstart
