Properties Expander
In the Models & Functions tab, the Properties expander lists all the properties of the selected object model or function. Here you can perform various configurations including:
- View the alarm definition settings
- Define how properties are logged
- Set visibility of properties and how they are displayed
- Define backup settings within the system
A number of check boxes and selection lists let you view or define various settings for each property. In addition, expanders on the right provide further configurations for the property selected in the list. The specific configurations available vary depending on whether you have selected an object model or a function.
