[Example] Changing the Text Group of an Organization Mode

Scenario: By default, the On and Off organization mode has two possible values (On/Off). You now want to modify it so that it has three possible values: On/Off/Standby.

System Manager is in Engineering mode.

A custom text group (called TxG_OnOffStandby) with the values 0=Off, 1=Off, 2=Standby was created in the libraries. For instructions, see [Example] Creating a Custom Text Group for Organization Modes in the Libraries.

In System Browser, select Management View.

Select Project > System Settings > Organization Modes > On and Off.

The Object Configurator tab displays.

In the Properties expander, select the Value property.

(Optional) In the Details expander, select the Valid check box until it has a black (not blue) check mark inside it.

From the Text group drop-down list, select the TxG_OnOffStandby text group to assign it to this organization mode.

Since the new text group has 3 possible values, rather than 2, in the Details expander, adjust the max value to 3.

Click Save .

When you select the On and Off organization mode, you can verify in the Extended Operation tab that it now has three possible values: On, Off, Standby.
