Configure Evaluations to Display Subpoint Values

  • You will apply an evaluation to the Text string property to display values of the child object properties. In this case, the parent node is the Detection node. The Text expressions in the evaluations are configured with substitutions that resolve the data point values when the graphic template is called at runtime.
  1. From the ribbon, use the Rectangle element to draw the space for the subpoint static labels and the Text elements to display the corresponding subpoint values. Format as desired.
  1. Create a static text label for each subpoint listed below, by doing the following:
    a. Draw and position a Text element accordingly, and
    b. In the Property Viewer, expand the Text property, and
    c. In the Text field, type the name of the subpoint property.
    d. Repeat until you have all the subpoints for each subpoint below:
  • Detection (node name)
  • City Branch Mode
  • City Branch Status
  • Ground Floor Mode
  • Ground Floor Present Value
  • Zone 1-10 Modes
  • Zone 11-14 Modes
  • Station A Mode
  • Station A Status
  1. For each static label created above, insert and position a Text element to represent the runtime values of the subpoint’s properties.
  1. To resolve the Detection parent node name, select the Text element, and do the following:
    a. Navigate to the Property Viewer > Text group, from the Text Type drop-down menu select Short Reference.
    b. From the Evaluation Editor, in the Property field, make sure Text is selected from the drop-down menu.
    c. In the Expression field, type: “{*}”.
  1. For the City Branch Mode subpoint property, select the associated value Text element you created for it, and do the following:
    a. From the Evaluation Editor, in the Property field, make sure Text is selected from the drop-down menu.
    b. In the Expression field, type: {*}.[m].Area_1;@Mode
  1. For the remaining subpoints and their properties in the table below, repeat Step 5.
