Modifying the User Prompts of a Master Dynamo

To modify the user prompts of a Master Dynamo:

IMPORTANT: The only way to modify the user prompts of a Master Dynamo is by manually editing them through the Properties Window, as described below. Do not try to modify the user prompts by using the Build Dynamo wizard. The Build Dynamo wizard only creates a new Master Dynamo and breaks the connection between the selected Master Dynamo and any Instances.

  1. In the iFIX WorkSpace system tree, browse to the Dynamo Sets folder. Double-click the folder name to view the contents.
  2. In the Dynamo Sets folder, locate the Dynamo Set and Master Dynamo that you want to update.
  3. Using the plus (+) symbol, expand the item to locate the Lookup table and view the Easy Dynamo variable.
  4. Right-click the EasyDynamo variable that contains the user prompts that you want to update and select Property Window. The Properties window appears.
  5. In the CurrentValue field, enter the current value of the user prompt between the quotation marks and the brackets, { }. For example, here you would edit the text MyPrompt to change the user prompt text:

ForegroundColor.Blink="{MyPrompt}"

  1. Likewise, in the InitialValue field, enter the initial value for the new user prompt between the quotation marks and the brackets.
  2. After you finish your changes, save the Dynamo Set.
