"Custom" operating area
5.1 Delivery condition and use
5.1
Overview
The operating areas described thus far can be extended and modified using "Expanding the
Operator Interface" tools. Extensions can only be applied to softkeys, which have not been
used previously.
Using the tools described below, it is possible to configure a separate operating area in both
HMI Embedded sl and HMI Advanced, where all 8 horizontal and 8 vertical softkeys are
available for a user-specific user interface.
The default name of this operating area is "Custom".
On OPs with hotkey block (e.g., OP 010, OP 010C), the "Custom" operating area can be
directly selected with:
● "Custom" hotkey
● Softkey 4 in the 1st horizontal expanded menu (default setting)
Condition on delivery
The "Custom" operating area displays an empty window with a configurable header across
the whole area of the local menu. The "Custom" operating area also permits a configurable
text in the operating area display field in the global menu.
All softkeys are empty and can be assigned as required by the customer using "Expand user
interface".
When switching from and back to the "Custom" area, the screen active before exiting the
"Custom" operating area is active.

● HMI Embedded sl
