How to use the Screen Library

In standard functions such as the standard framework, various functions of the screen library can be pre-integrated and used. In addition, if you want to add a screen library to your own project, you can easily import and use it by simply selecting the screen library of the desired function in Panel Editor and dragging and dropping it.

Screen Library Main Form

In a client setting file that has a built-in screen library, a folder is created for each screen library, and in most cases, a form named "_Main" is stored in it.

This form is called the main form of the screen library, and is displayed when you call up the screen library.

For example, for an alarm summary, specify "_AlarmSummary._Main".

Screen Library and Destination Actions

Most screen libraries work by connecting to actions on the Panel Server side at runtime.

 

For example, the alarm summary screen library connects to the Alarm server action running on the Panel Server side to display alarm information. Therefore, when using a screen library, it may be necessary to define the action to which it is connected. The actions to which each screen library is connected are listed in the screen library reference.
