Multiple tokens can be selected to display any combination of information to the end user. Spaces and/or free text are also allowed between each token to assist in the data being represented. See Using Text Tokens for more information about tokens.
The properties on the Edit <item> dialog box are described below.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Edit Text |
Shows the text and/or tokens that will be displayed. In the GNS, this field displays the text that will be used in the notification message (subject line, body, or WAV file name). This field may include tokens that refer to the source (current) point that is triggering the notification AND reference tags to other related points. |
|
Drop-Down Menu |
Available attributes are categorized into logical groups for ease of lookup. Select a desired category from the drop-down menu. |
|
Attribute |
All current attributes defined in the CygNet system. For each category, select the desired value. See Token Categories for a complete list of values by category. |
|
Insert Token |
Click to insert the desired token into the Edit Text field. Repeat to display multiple values. Note: Add static text, spaces between tokens, parentheses, and other punctuation, as desired. |
|
Insert New Line |
Click Insert New Line to add a line immediately after the current token. In the GNS, only notification messages allow the use of multiple lines of text. Note: While the Edit Text field has focus Ctrl+Enter will insert a new line wherever the cursor is located. |
|
Reference Tag |
Note: This option is ONLY available in the General Notification Service. Use Reference Tag to include other points (data values or descriptive information) in a notification message using reference point token substitution. See Including Other Points in Notifications for more information about how to format and build up a reference tag for a point other than the point triggering the notification. |
|
Formatting |
Display formats can be applied to tokens. The format string is included in the token string within square brackets. An example of a format applied to a value token would be %value[0.0]%, where [0.0] is the display format. See [DisplayFormat] property for more information regarding display formats. Click Formatting to specify a custom display format for the token. See Displaying Service Monitor Point Date/Time for more information about formatting strings of text. |
Several scripting functions are provided in the CxHmiCas object to allow customized calls or methods to be utilized for alarm design time filter rules. For more information, see each of the following methods in the Scripting section.
The CAS View ActiveX Control has a set of 20 generic attributes that can be configured and used by the filter rules. The value of these attributes can be set at design time or at runtime through script. This allows the screen designer to template a set of rules by changing the value to compare at runtime. Use the dialog box presented to choose from the list of available control attributes and modify the description of the attribute and the attribute’s value.
