Related Items. For example, text might be displayed as description, name,
description plus name, or name plus description.
The second set of buttons, Group and Ungroup, allows you to switch between
categories or flat-list views of the items in the list. The Group view shows items
arranged by object type (analog input, digital output, schedules, graphics, reports,
PDFs, Word files, web links, etc.) and is expanded by default, but which you can
collapse as well. When the Group view is collapsed, the Links and Icons views are
disabled. The Ungroup view displays all related items without displaying their
corresponding group names.
If you select one object from System Browser, Related Items displays all links
associated with that object. If you select two or more objects from System Browser,
Related Items displays only those links that all selected objects have in common.
For example, you select three objects in System Browser with the following links:
Object
Links
EastWingLabTemp
Monthly Energy Consumption Report
Third Floor Heating/Cooling Schedule
Third Floor Temperature Trend
WestWingOfficeTemp
Monthly Energy Consumption Report
Third Floor Heating/Cooling Schedule
Third Floor Temperature Trend
NorthWingOfficeTemp
Monthly Energy Consumption Report
Third Floor Heating/Cooling Schedule
The result of this selection is that Related Items displays only the Monthly Energy
Consumption Report and the Third Floor Heating/Cooling Schedule links because
they are common to all three objects. The Third Floor Temperature Trend link does
not display because it is not common to all three selected objects. To view the
Third Floor Temperature Trend link in this example, you would need to select either
the EastWingLabTemp object or the WestWingLabTemp object.
While Related Items works to retrieve the links for the objects you select, it displays
text to indicate the status of the selections.
APOGEE Field Panel Hyperlinks
Desigo CC supports both FPWeb UI and APOGEE Editors for viewing and editing
APOGEE objects in APOGEE field panels. However, if you are using the newer
FPWeb UI Editors to view FLN devices listed in the Hyperlinks group, you must
have Firmware Revision 3.4 or later installed in your panels. Otherwise, you will not
be able to view the links in the Secondary Pane.
Maintenance of User Preferences
Related Items stores the settings of the Group and Ungroup views and the Links
and Icons views for each object that you interact with so that you do not need to
continually adjust your settings as you navigate from one object to the next.
Deleting and Re-adding Points
Be careful about deleting and then re-adding points in your system since this can
break the links in Related Items.
For example, you select a point on a graphic, and the graphic itself displays as one
of the links for that point in Related Items. If you delete the point from the field
panel, and then re-add it (re-import it using the Auto Discovery feature), the graphic
will display the point, but the related items for the point will be lost. If you select the
re-added point in System Browser, the graphic will not display.
In the case of graphics, you can restore the broken links using the Graphics
Consistency Checker diagnostic tool.
If you delete points relating to camera devices, External Documents, and
Management Station Schedules, your links will be permanently lost.
