page. In this case, you would simply select and copy that set of bargraph buttons from the RGBsetup
System Page and paste them right into an existing page in your project.
System Page buttons will remain fully functional when they are copied into your project, since they
always retain their function codes. Once the System Page button(s) are pasted into your project, you can
edit the associated function codes (and all other button parameters), if necessary.
The pages in the System Page Template, and the buttons they contain are locked for editing. However,
once the copied buttons are pasted into a page in your project, they can be modified just like any other
button in the project.

Working with System Page Keyboards and Keypads

One of the most helpful features of the System Page Template is the set of keyboard and keypad System
Popup Pages it contains. You can use these keyboards and keypads in your Project without having to
build the keys or assign the function codes. Use the keyboard and keypad System Popup Pages anytime
you need to add text/numeric entry functions to your Project.
The System Popup Pages include:
Use the keyboard and keypad System Popup Pages anytime you need to add text/numeric entry functions
to your Project.
There are two ways to add a keyboard or keypad to your Project:
1. Copy and Paste the entire Keyboard or Keypad Popup Page into an existing project: Select the
appropriate System Template Popup Page in the Workspace Navigator (Pages tab), select Edit >
Copy, then select the target Project in the Workspace Navigator and select Edit > Paste. The pasted
popup page is automatically pasted to the Popup Pages folder for the target Project.
2. Copy and Paste only selected elements from a Keyboard or Keypad Popup Page into an existing
project: Open a Keyboard or Keypad Popup Page, and copy only the buttons/keys that you plan to
use into an existing page in a Project.
Either way, you won't have to do any additional work to make the keyboard/keypad work on the panel.
However, remember that once pasted into your Project, these popup pages and buttons are fully editable.
