Global Navigation
The suffix page is a copy of the suffix template. It is not the template or a link to the
template. Category buttons in the panel configuration that reference a suffix template do
have links to their templates.
The suffix page allows operators to enter a numerical suffix (that is, an index).
The suffix page typically has a simulated numeric keypad with which operators enter a device
suffix in the category-suffix method used under NV9000 systems. The method "builds" device
names as a category name concatenated with one or more suffixes. For example, the device
name for suffix "114" in category VTR is "VTR114. "
There are different ways to join the category with the suffix (such as with hyphens). Refer to
the NV9000-SE Utilities User's Guide if you need information about that.
In addition to its numeric keypad, the suffix page must have a 'Back' button. It could have a
'Take' button and a few other buttons.
The same suffix template can be used for both source and destination categories.
If you do not check the 'Use global suffix page to select devices' box, the category button
produces, during operation, a list of all the devices in the category, on one or more button
pages. You cannot view those (dynamically created) button pages in NV9000-SE Utilities.
Referencing a Navigate Template
Navigate pages can be accessed through 'Global Navigate' buttons.
When you create a 'Global Navigate' button, the button definition has a 'Navigation Btn' field:
Choose a navigate template in that field. The global navigation page and any of its subpages
appears in the panel configuration's button page list:
The global navigation pages are copies made from the navigate template. They are not the
template or a link to the template. The 'Global Navigate' buttons in the panel configuration
that reference a navigate template do have links to their templates.
The global navigation template provides all the button types available for panel configurations
except additional 'Global Navigate' buttons. Other than that, a global navigation page is func-
tionally identical to any ordinary button page.
