Custom Command Layout

Configuring a Command Table includes an advanced feature where you can customize the look of the command bar as it will appear on the operator's Workstation.

To customize the Command Layout:
  1. Go to Integrated Systems, right-click the system to configure and click Configure.
  2. Go to Command Tables and click the table you want to customize.
  3. In the Advanced settings, check Custom Command Layout then click the Customize button.
Warning: When using a custom command layout, you must ensure your Function Panel is large enough to fit the commands. If it is not, they will not be displayed properly.
There are two tabs for customizable buttons:
  • Command Buttons — Each button represents a command in the table.
  • Confirmation Buttons — These are the buttons that appear when the Prompt to confirm command execution option is enabled. There is one to Confirm the action, and one to Cancel.
