The Home tab appears on the ViewX ribbon. It contains the following command groups:
- Security
- Operate
- Navigation
- System
The Security group contains commands that allow you to access System Security.
The commands include:
- Log On—This command allows you to Log On to ViewX
- Log Off—This command allows you to Log Off from ViewX
- Change Password—This command allows you to Change your Password via ViewX. (The command only applies if your User Account is managed directly in ClearSCADA 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.)
The Operate group contains commands that allow you to navigate forward and backward between Mimics, display Alarms and Events Lists, and the Alarm Banner.
The commands include:
- Home—Only available if a Home Page is configured for the currently logged-on user (or the Guest user if no user is logged on). Select this button to display the default ‘file object’, such as a custom Mimic, that is configured as the Home Page. For more information, see Define the Homepage Settings for a User.
- Back / Forward— displays the previously shown display, such as a Mimic, after you navigate between displays using a hyperlink. After clicking on Back, you can then click on Forward to view the display that was shown before you clicked on Back. You can use the Back and Forward commands, for example, to navigate backwards through multiple Mimics and then navigate forward to the original Mimic.
The drop-down menus associated with the Back and Forward commands list the sequence of previously displayed items in the specified direction. You can jump directly to an item by selecting it from a drop-down menu.
- Alarms—Displays a list of the current alarms on your ClearSCADA system(s). The entries in the List are restricted to those alarms to which the ViewX client and your user account have access. For more information, see Alarms Lists.
- Alarms Banner—Displays the Alarms Banner. For more information, see Alarm Banner.
- Events—Displays a list of the events on your ClearSCADA system, over a defined time period. The entries in the List are restricted to events associated with those items to which the ViewX client and your user account have access. For more information, see Events.
The Navigation group contains commands that allow you to navigate Mimics, Trends, and historic Lists.
The commands include:
- Zoom—Use this combo box to select or specify a specific Mimic Zoom level.
- Zoom In / Zoom Out—Use these commands to increase or decrease the Zoom Level of the Mimic.
- Zoom Box—Use this command to zoom into a specific area of a Mimic by drawing a Zoom Box around the area.
- Zoom Lock—Use this command to return the Mimic to its default zoom level. The Zoom Lock turns off automatically if you zoom in or out again.
