Object Menu Options

This section explains the operator-level Object menu options (‘pick actions’) that are common to many database items. It also lists those higher-level Object menu options that engineers might use during system configuration.

With an option that requires further user input before being executed, a window is displayed. Use the window to specify the required information and then select the OK button to confirm the details and execute the request.

For information on any menu options that are not listed in this section, see the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Drivers, or the relevant driver guide. (The Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Drivers lists those pick actions that are common to items on many drivers; each driver-specific guide list any pick actions that are specific to that particular driver.)

Some of the Object menus on your system may include additional ‘custom’ menu options—menu options that have been added specifically for items on your system. See a system administrator for the documentation associated with such custom options.

The options that are displayed on an Object Menu vary, but may include a combination of those options that are listed in the gray footer section at the bottom of this topic. Select the relevant entry to display the topic that you require.

With a ViewX client on a Multi-Monitor Setup, you may be able to select the name of the Window Container in which to display or edit a document. Each Window Container displays on a particular monitor by default. Such options are only available when you select certain Display... or Edit... pick actions from the Database Bar or Operator Documents Bar. For more information, see Ability to Specify the Window Container in which to Display or Edit a Document.

The Object menu may also include a combination of these options, which are relevant to database configuration tasks, or other high-level operations. For information on any of these options, see the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Configuration, unless another guide is mentioned below:

• Change Main Server—see the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Server Administration
• Change Password—see Change your Password
  (You can only change your password in Geo SCADA Expert if your user account is managed directly in Geo SCADA Expert and you have sufficient permissions to change your own password. If your user account is associated with a Windows or LDAP User Profile, password changes are managed via the relevant Windows domain or LDAP server.)
