Custom Editors

Some property areas on certain tag types are difficult to understand and edit when flattened into a Field/Value pair properties in the Details panel. In these cases, the Database Details panel will often provide a customized editor, so you have more room to edit the fields. For example:

• The Alarm Options in the AA block.
• The Input Definitions in the PA block.
• The Data Definitions in the SQD block.
• The Programming Statements in the PG block.

Customized editors are indicated in the group/area headers and provide a launch button to open. The following example shows the launch button in the Alarms Options heading.

Here is an example of the dialog box that opens Alarm Options for the AA tag:

It is the same content available from the details pane, but just in a larger viewing area. Changes made in the custom dialog boxes are reflected back into the Details panel properties when closed.
