Making Runtime Help Available - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

The following user settings are saved in all OS controls:
● Window size
● Window position
● Changes in size of the individual areas within the Control by the perforated scroll bar.
The change in size of the individual areas using the scroll bar can be set differently for an
undocked and a not undocked Control.
● Layout or arrangement of the areas in the control. This setting is only valid for the Properties
control and only if a default has not been set for the "ToolbarOrderAndVisibility" attribute.
General response of BATCH OS controls in process pictures
● When a process picture is closed, all user settings for this picture are saved temporarily
and locally on the OS client for each individual client. This means that when an OS client
is closed, all user settings saved for this OS client are lost. As a result, the default settings
are restored every time an OS client is restarted.
● When a corresponding process picture is opened, all modified settings are read in on an
individual client basis.
● Every time a different picture is selected, the most recent user setting saved is read in.
Even in the case of visualization on multiple screens, the setting you saved last is always
displayed. If, for example, a process picture open on multiple screens is closed on those
screens one after the other, only the setting from the last picture closed remains saved.
● All user settings made using scripts have a higher priority and overwrite individual client
user settings.
● All agreements apply in addition, without restriction, and separately even for undocked
controls; in other words, controls which are placed in the workspace outside of WinCC.
