How the Goto Display button works at run time

When the operator presses the Goto Display button at run time, the graphic display assigned to the button opens.

The Goto Display button’s behavior at run time also depends on which types of graphic displays are already open and which type of display it is opening.

Use display types

  • If the graphic display assigned to the button is a Replace display, it closes any open On Top or Replace displays. It does not close any On Top displays that use the Cannot Be Replaced option.
  • If the graphic display assigned to the button is an On Top display (with or without the Cannot Be Replaced option) and you select the Display position enabled option (on the General tab), the display is positioned using the "Top position" and "Left position" settings. Otherwise, the display is positioned using the graphic display’s settings.
  • The operator cannot use this button to open Replace displays if display change is currently controlled remotely. But the operator can still open On Top displays (with or without the Cannot Be Replaced option).

    Tip:

    The types of displays and the graphic display's settings are configured in the Display Settings editor.
