The Language selector component
Category | Property | Description |
|---|---|---|
Common | Name | The name of the component, visible in other Designer locations (such as Page explorer).  |
Object ID | Sets the Object ID of the component. By defining an object ID for the control, it can be passed as SignalPrefix when using parameter passing in navigation. The value of the Object ID can be used via a placeholder [OID] in other properties of this extension. The placeholder is supported in all signal properties, symbolic text, and states. Example: Setpoint [OID]  | |
Tooltip text | Optional tooltip text, that will be shown on mouseover at runtime.  | |
Security | System authorizations / Permissions | The system authorization required to display the component. If the logged in user does not have this system authorization, the component will not be visible or enabled (depending on the set Security access behavior). If the property is left empty, the component will be visible and enabled for all users. Further on, the user can also add multiple System authorizations / Permissions, separated by comma (,). This property is named "System authorization" for projects created on i4scada platform.  This property is named "Permissions" for projects created on i4connected platform.  |
Project authorizations / Roles | The project authorization required for displaying the component. If the logged in user does not have this project authorization, the component will not be visible or enabled (depending on the set Security access behavior).

This property is named "Project authorization" for projects created on i4scada platform.  This property is named "Role" for projects created on i4connected platform.  | |
Security access behavior | Sets the behavior of the element to either disabled (grayed out) or hidden, when the logged in user doesn't meet the conditions imposed by the Project authorization / Roles and System authorization / Permissions properties. In case both Project authorization / Roles and System authorization / Permissions properties are set, the logged user needs to meet both conditions to be able to see and utilize the component, at run-time.  | |
