Tab: Dialog Settings

Symbol:

The tab manages the settings for standard dialogs which open when virtual user input is desired, for example, because no external keyboard or mouse is available.

Important

The global settings in the Visualization Manager are effective for use in a TargetVisu or WebVisu only.

If a corresponding setting is also available in the input configuration of the respective visualization element, then it is used.

Tip

In the input configuration of an element, you define which action is opened by the standard dialog defined here.

Table 27. Settings for User Management Dialogs

You can configure your visualization with a user management. To do this, configure an element input for opening a user management.

The VisuUserManagement library provides ready-made dialog visualizations for this purpose. The library is located in the installation directory (example: C:\Program Files (x86)\CODESYS\4.1.0.0 \Projects\Visu\Dialogs\VisuUserMgmtDialogs.library).

Tip

You can also use other visualizations as user management dialogs. The presets must be changed here in order to do this.
