Lists

List windows show database data (attributes) in list format. Examples of lists include
the variable list, alarm log, event log, maintenance log, and user log. Basically all lists
are viewed in the same way. Some lists, however, can contain more properties than
others. This chapter uses the variable list as an example.
Description of lists
The list name is displayed on the tab. When you point to the list name, a tool tip that
shows the location database of the list and call path are displayed. A search bar, an
advanced search bar, and the column headings are displayed at the top of the list window,
while scroll bars are displayed on the right and at the bottom. Depending on the list
configuration, the search and advanced search bars can be visible or hidden.
The list area displays the list items. Examples of items include the variables of the variable
list and events of the event log. The list has one row with columns for each item. Rows
can be browsed with the scroll bar on the right and columns with the scroll bar at the
bottom. If a row has been enabled, there is a number in front of it.
Column headings show the names of the columns in the list. You can sort the items based
on the information on 1-5 columns (unless this has been prevented in the list configura-
tion). A small triangle in the column heading indicates that the items have been sorted
based on the column in question. The direction of the triangle indicates whether the items
have been sorted in ascending ( ) or descending ( ) order. If the items have been sorted
based on several columns, a number is shown next to the triangle. Number 1 indicates
the column that the items have been first sorted by, number 2 the second column the
items were sorted by and number 3 the last column that the sort is based on.
You can define the list to display either one item or a group of items by defining general
string criteria for the search bar, and column-specific string, list and selection criteria
for the advanced search bar. The list is refreshed when you click the refresh button. If
the displayed list is extended, the refresh button begins to flash after changes have been
made to search criteria.
You can modify column widths depending on how you want the data to be displayed on
screen. You can change the order of columns by dragging.
These functions are only available if they have not been disabled in list configurations.
Right-clicking the column heading displays the following pop-up menu:
