(use the navigation tree checkboxes to select). The GS
Screen will automatically reflect any points that have
been previously selected under Point References and
carry them over to additional widgets.

9.4.1.5. Visibility

GS Screen visibility is set so that unused parts of a
graphic will not be visible to the user. For example, if
the total number of compressors is 16 and you only
need four of them to be seen, the visibility is set so
only four are shown on the page. When points are re-
freshed, and All Points is set from the drop-down list
at the top of the Navigation Window, only the active
points will be visible.

9.4.1.6. Widget Properties

The widget context menu lets you change the layer
positioning of the widget on the GS Screen, duplicate
it (create additional copies of the widget on the page),
delete the widget, or go to the Image Properties editor
of the widget, which gives you further configuration
options. Right-click on a widget to show the widget
context menu (Figure 9-25).

You can change the settings of each widget with
these actions:
• Bring to Front: Brings the widget to the top, in
front of all other widgets
• Send to Back: Brings the widget behind all other
widgets
• Bring Forward: Brings the widget one layer down
• Send Backward: Brings the widget one layer up
• Duplicate: Creates a copy of the widget along with
its properties
• Delete: Removes the widget from the screen. Select-
ed widgets and grouped widgets can also be deleted
by pressing the Delete/Del keys on your keyboard.
• Lock Size/Position: Saves and holds the most re-
cently set size and position of the widget so it is
locked out of clicking, dragging, and other changes.
The widget selection handles turn purple to indicate
the widget is locked. When the widget is in lock
mode, this menu option will read Unlock Size/Posi-
tion. Click Unlock to release the widget. (This op-
tion is also available as a checkbox on the Image
Properties menu.)
• Properties: Displays the GS Image Property menu
for more configuration options for each widget. The
Properties menu options for widgets will vary de-
pending on which type of widget you choose.
• Reset Scale: Click this option to return to the previ-
ously configured widget size
• Convert to Sub-Screen (if available): Zone widgets
allow you to create a new GS screen based on a por-
tion of another screen.
• Duplicate and Rebase (if available): Click this op-
tion to duplicate the widget. Just as the Duplicate
option, but additionally the widget will enter a spe-
cial mode where you can select a different Applica-
tion Instance (or any node except a point node) to
use as a new base for all the references in the widget.
More on Duplicate and Rebase:
Any previously selected widgets will be unselected
and the new duplicated widget will selected (just the
Duplicate action does not do this) and then the
screen editor and main tree will go into a special
mode where you must now select a new node from
the main tree, to use as a base for all the references
in the widget(s). The tree background will be high-
lighted yellow and a popup bubble will be shown
with instructions and a Cancel link to exit this
mode. Canceling will not remove the duplicated
widget, but will cause the widget to have the same
references based on where they were in the widget
from which it was duplicated from.
The tree will automatically synchronize to the appli-
