  - Runtime Model
    Create a model to build the runtime structure and content.
  - Model Editor
    Use the Model Editor to create and modify asset object types and asset objects in your model.
  - Supported Characters for the Model
    Before creating object types, objects and data variables, review the following tables to see which characters are supported as well as restricted.
  - Manage Data Source Servers
    Access the details for the data source servers that are used to populate data in your model.
  - Configure Data Distributor Settings
  - Set Up the Model Structure
    Object types define the structure of the equipment pieces within your model. For each object type, such as a StorageTank, you set up all the data variable names, such as TankLevel, that any asset object associated with this type can reuse in its own definition.
  - Define Objects
    Asset objects are the instances of equipment pieces, such as StorageTank1, to appear in the model. For each object, you determine which data variables derived from its object type to reuse, and then define them accordingly.
  - Duplicate Objects
    When an object uses similar data variables and contained objects as a configured object, you can duplicate the configured object to create new objects for your model.
  - Set Up Runtime Navigation
    Use the Navigation app to visually structure the runtime hierarchy of objects.
  - Modify Object Types
    You can remove an asset object type and delete and modify its data variable names but you cannot change the name of an object type. All changes made to an object type are reflected in its object instances.
  - Remove Contained Types
    When you delete a child from an asset object type, it is also removed from all objects using it.
  - Replace Contained Objects
    You can quickly replace contained objects by browsing through a list of similar objects that are assigned to the same object type.
  - Modify Objects
    You can remove an asset object as well as change its data sources.
  - Export the Model
  - Import a Model
  - Define Trend Data
    You can view trend-line analysis of variable data for a selected time frame in Historian. You select which historical variables to view.
  - Delete a Model
  - Import Mimics
    HMI graphics are imported as mimics to Operations Hub.
  - Assign Mimics to Assets
    Assign a mimic to object types and objects.
  - Override an Assigned Mimic
    Assigning a new mimic to an object overrides the mimic assigned at the object type level.
  - Set Up Mimic Target Zones
    Target zones represent areas on a mimic that were set as selectable in the HMI/SCADA system. You set the navigation of these target zones for an operator.

Set Up Mimic Target Zones

Target zones represent areas on a mimic that were set as selectable in the HMI/SCADA system. You set the navigation of these target zones for an operator.

You define a target zone to navigate to any asset in the model and view historical data.

Note: These steps are also applicable for mimics bound at the asset level.

In iFIX, set regions on a picture as Is Selectable to appear as clickable targets on the Mimic Card.
In CIMPLICITY, only groups with the mouse-up or mouse-down event show as selectable targets on the Mimic Card. When defining a mouse-up or mouse-down event for a group, you must specify the script action, and then create an empty script.
Assign the mimic to an asset type.

Go to ADMIN > Visualizations > Designer.
Under Object Types, select an object type.
For the selected item, go to Mimic Card > Click Target Binding.
To enable an operator to navigate to a particular asset object in the model, do the following:
1. In the Referenced Object column and next to the target name, select or search for the asset object in the model hierarchy tree. You can do a partial search, such as Sto, and Operations Hub highlights all assets containing Sto, as shown in this example.
2. Select the related Action field and then Navigate.
In Runtime, the background of a target zone changes to blue when an operator hovers over it. After an operator selects a target on the mimic card, the target asset becomes the active one, changing the mimic and content in the trend and alarm cards accordingly.
Select Save.
