Page Change Buttons

Another helpful navigation tool is the set of page change buttons along the navigation bar. If configured, these will appear along the navigation bar and be labeled with the name of the page to which they correspond. The label of the page change button whose corresponding page is currently being viewed has a bold label, as displayed by the "Alarm Page" page change button identified below.

To switch pages, click on the page change button that is labeled with the page's name.

In the event that you need to see two pages simultaneously, you can right-click any page change button to have the related page open as a small-sized separate page on top of the page you are currently viewing. You can reposition the small-sized page on the screen simply by dragging its title bar.  The Alarm page is the only one which cannot be opened in two windows simultaneously.

If your navigation bar doesn’t include any page change buttons, or doesn't include a page change button for the pages you regularly use, you can easily add some for quick access to frequently used pages. VTS has been designed to store the page change buttons you configure along with your user account information, so that each time you logon to your VTS application, your page change buttons are loaded.

Add a Page Change Button

1.  Open the page you wish to connect to a page change button, using the menu.

2.  Click on the Add To List button  to the right of the Display Manager's navigation bar. The page change button is added to the navigation bar.

 

If you are logged on to your user account, your page change button configuration will be saved along with your account information so that you have access to the same page change buttons each time you logon to your application.

 

Remove a Page Change Button

1.  Click the page change button you wish to remove from the navigation bar. The page change button's associated page opens, and the page change button appears with a bold label.

2.  Click on the Remove from List button  to the right of the Display Manager's navigation bar. The page change button is deleted from the navigation bar.

Redefine a Page Change Button

1.  Open the page you wish to connect to a page change button, using the menu.

2.  Click on an existing Page Change button, and hold the mouse button down for 3 seconds. 

The existing page change button will be redefined so that it now links to the current page.

 

Your page change button configuration is updated and is available to you each time you logon to your application.  Deleting a page change button does not directly affect the associated page.
