  • Create folder objects on the start page

  1. In System Browser, select logical view.
  1. Select Logical > [Hierarchies] >

  • Wind speed
  • Other objects
  1. Drag the object to the graphics page.
  1. Click Save .
  1. Create one of the two variants:
  • Viewport
  • Graphic references

 

Using the Viewport Variant

  • The Start page is completed and open.
  1. In the Viewports group, select option Create Viewports .
  1. Click Manual Viewport .
  1. Create a viewport that is the same size as the graphics page.
  1. Click Save .
  • The viewport is saved below the corresponding graphics page and is displayed in System Browser.
  1. Select the Viewport page in System Browser.
  • The Viewport properties dialog box opens.
  1. In System Browser, select Management View.
  1. Select either:
  • Application View > Applications
  • Logical View > Logical
  • Logical View > User
  • User View > User
  • Own Views
    and in Viewport Properties > Advanced, drag-and-drop the applicable folder to the Link References text field. This must take place for all existing views.
  1. Close the Viewport Properties dialog box.
  • The nodes for all views are linked to the Viewport. The Start page opens if the user selected one of these nodes.

NOTE:
When changing the Start page, the Start viewport must be re-saved.

 

Using the Graphic References Variant

A symbol reference on the Start page must be created for each available view in System Browser.

  • The Start page is created.
  1. Open the Start page in the Graphics Editor.
  1. In System Browser, select Application View.
  1. Drag-and-drop the Applications node to the graphics page.
  • The folder symbol is added to the graphic and highlighted.
  1. Select Symbol Properties > Substitutions > Layout.
  1. Clear the Visible check box.
    NOTE: The folder symbol is not visibly displayed in Online mode if the check box is cleared.
  1. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for all views available in System Browser (always the first node for the given view).
    NOTE: The last view is saved for each user when exiting Desigo CC. This view is open on the top node of System Browser when logging on again to Desigo CC.
    The reference to the graphics page must be added one time for each view since no one knows the view from which the user exits Desigo CC.
  1. Click Save .
