Discrete Values Section
Check out this article and learn more details about the Discrete Values section of the WEBfactory 2010 Studio application
For the users of WEBfactory 2010 modules (e.g. SchedulerPro) it is often more intuitive to control processes discretely. For example, a light switch can be controlled to the best advantage by means of discrete values like light ON and light OFF.
In the Discrete Values section, the user can define discrete values as text-value pairs such as [light ON =1] or [light OFF= 0]. The defined pairs can be grouped in functional units in the Discrete Value Types section, which will eventually be assigned to signal variables. At the same time, the user can create multilingual texts for discrete values, which will then be available to the user.
The Deiscrete Values section
Right-clicking on Discrete Values in the Signals tree menu will open the contextual menu.
Discrete Values contextual menu
UI Option | Description |
|---|---|
Expand/Collapse | Expands/Collapses the clicked element. In the Discrete Values case, the option is disabled because the Discrete Values cannot have any sub-items. |
New Discrete Value | Allows the user to add a new Discrete Value to the list. |
Delete | Deletes the selected Discrete Value. Active only in the main view. |
Refresh | Reloads the Discrete Values list. |
Right-clicking in the Discrete Values main panel will open the contextual menu.
Selected Discrete value - contextual menu
UI Option | Description |
|---|---|
Edit | Edits the content of the cell where the contextual menu was triggered. |
Copy | Copies the selected Discrete Value. |
New Discrete Value | Allows the user to add a new Discrete Value to the list. |
Delete | Deletes the selected Discrete Value. |
Discrete Value Details | Toggles the Discrete Value Details panel on or off. |
Refresh | Reloads the Discrete Values list. |
The Discrete Value Details panel allows the user to set up translations for the Discrete Value's description, but also edit the name and value of the Discrete Values.
