Navigation Panel

This topic provides an overview of the navigation panel from Configuration Hub in the Operations Hub new layout.

On this panel, you can navigate to other Proficy applications installed within your Configuration Hub environment. Under Operations Hub, you have access to the following areas:

Applications

On the applications homepage, you can perform tasks as described in the following table.
1 Creates a new application.
2 Imports application and pages.

For more information on importing applications and pages, refer to the Operations Hub documentation.
3 Allows to perform the following actions:
  • App Actions: A selection check box appears next to the applications and allows to perform related operations.
  • Page Actions: A selection check box appears next to the pages and allows to perform page related operations. You must select the app to show page check box.
  • Clear: Clears all selection check boxes.
4 Opens a Column Chooser dialog. Select the check box for the columns you want to show on the applications homepage. To hide columns, clear the respective check box.
  • Description: Displays a column that contains a brief description of each app/page.
  • Creation Date: Displays a column that tracks the date and time when the app/page was originally created in Operations Hub.
  • Creation User: Displays a column that contains the user ID who initially created the app/page.
  • Modification Date: Displays a column that tracks the date and time when the app/page was last modified.
  • Modification User: Displays a column that contains the user ID who last modified the app/page.
  • Locked: Displays a column that contains a lock/unlock status to indicate the editing status for the app.
  • Navigation Order: Displays a column that contains a numerical value representing the order in which the pages are navigated.

    By default, application pages are sorted alphabetically on page load. To sort pages by their runtime navigation order, select the Order column header. This sorted order is how the pages will be arranged at runtime when the application is launched.

    You also have the option to change the sequence of pages: Select a page and then move it to a different position in the order by dragging it. The sequence order can be modified only if the App is in unlocked state.

    To revert to the alphabetical order, simply select the column header that contains application page names.
5 Enter keywords to search for applications or pages.
6 Sorts columns in ascending or descending order. The status is indicated by the up/down arrow on each sortable column header.
7 Indicates whether the application is in a locked or unlocked state.
8 Allows to perform tasks on the selected application or page. You can either:
  • Select this icon for the app/page to access task actions, (OR)
  • Right-click the app/page to access task actions.

Existing app/page names are quickly editable on the homepage itself.

Note: Applications/pages created in the Operations Hub Classic version cannot be modified in the new Operations Hub layout. Such applications are marked as legacy apps. You can only preview them.

For more information on applications and pages, refer to the Operations Hub documentation.
9 Opens the end application.
