c) In the Access Level box, type the minimum security level that the user must have in order to access the
area during run time.
4. In the Alarms area of the worksheet, specify which alarms should be displayed in this area's Alarm control
during run time.
By default, all areas of the Mobile Access website will display all alarms that are configured in your
project's Alarm worksheets. However, you can filter the alarms by group, by selection, or by priority in
order to display only the alarms that are relevant to this area. The easiest way to do this is to configure
a separate Alarm worksheet/group for each area and then filter by those group numbers, but if you
configured your project's alarms long before you configured the areas of your Mobile Access website, then
they may not correspond. If that is the case, then you can use the other settings. For more information
about group, selection, and priority, see Alarm worksheet on page 241.
a) In the Group box, type the number of the Alarm group(s) that you want to display in this area.
You can specify more than one group by using commas and hyphens. For example, if you type…
5-10,60,80-90
…then you will display groups 5 through 10, group 60, and groups 80 through 90 in this control.
The Group box will validate as you type; if you type an invalid group or groups, then the box will be
bordered in red.
If you leave this box empty, then no filtering will be done by Alarm group.
b) In the Selection box, type the selection alias(es) of the specific alarms that you want to display in this
area.
You can specify more than one selection alias by using commas. For example…
AliasA,AliasB,AliasD
If you leave this box empty, then no filtering will be done by selection alias.
c) In the Priority From and Priority To box, type the priority range of the specific alarms that you want to
display in this area.
If you leave the default values of 0 and 255 (i.e., the maximum range), then no filtering will be done by
priority.
d) Select Show process values alarms only if you only want to show alarms for the process values that are
actually configured for this area (see below).
If you select this option, it will override all of the other alarm filter settings.
5. In the Trend and Process Values area of the worksheet, configure the process values that you want to display in
this area and how they should be displayed. For each row, do the following.
a) In the Tag Name box, type the name of a project tag that you want to display as a process value.
You can also double-click in the box to open the Object Finder.
b) In the Label box, type a simple label for the project tag.
c) Select Write if you want to be able to write new values to the tag by manipulating its widget (e.g., slide its
gauge, toggle it switch) during run time.
d) Select Trending if you want the values to be graphed in the Trend control.
e) In the Min and Max boxes, type the minimum and maximum for the process value.
Please note that these are not hard limits on the process value. The actual value of the project tag
can exceed both the minimum and maximum, depending on how the value is calculated during run
time. It simply will not be displayed, because it is literally off the scale. Instead, when the actual value
is less than the minimum, the minimum is displayed, and when the actual value is greater than the
maximum, the maximum is displayed.
In the Process Values control, Min and Max are used to determine the scale of the selected widget.
In the Trend control, Min and Max are used to calculate the percentage. (For example, if Min is 10, Max is
20, and the actual value is 16, then the percentage is 60%.)
