Tabbed workplace multiscreen

Hi AKS

I have a tabbed workplace setup with 4 screens aside (not 2x2). The three buttons defined for the tabbed workplace area however appear as if I have a 2x2 setup of screens instead of 1x4.

Does the appearance depends on some setting?

Kind regards

Rune

Hi Rune

Some time ago I was also „fighting“ with this buttons. As much as I know you can’t configure the Buttons. Button up to 3 screens appears in a row (1x3) and for 4 screens as (2x2).

Finally I am not using this buttons because it is not intuitive for the operator to use one button for different screens. And we are also using 4 Screens in a row.

Now I have the same navigation on each screen, and on each screen you have only the 1-Screen-Button which is navigation only the screen where it’s located on. Also this was not very easy to set up, but you think this would be your solution you try and if you have question you can ask again.

Hi Lukas

Thanks a lot for your answer. The 1-screen button sounds like a better solution, but I haven't figured out how to configure the workplace so that each of the four screens have their own set of buttons (in my case 3 buttons). Have you managed this? if so I would very much like to know how. My setup consist of 4 screenlayout with their own tabgrouping and appl. bar.

Hi Rune

It's important to create for each screen an own workplace in the workplace structure

In the TabGrouping Aspect you need to select the Structure (functional structure) of the buttons you like to display. The problem is, if you select the Root object in the functional structure you will have all the object (displays) in the navigation.
To make a selection of the button you need to create another tree in the functional structure.
Your Displays are probably in the functional structure in a Tree. I name this the “original tree”.
Create in the functional structure under "Root" a new Tree with the name of the Workplace incl Screen Nr.
In the new Tree in the functional structure you can use "Insert Object" to add the 3 Objects of the Original Tree (like a pointer to the original tree). In this new tree you have only this 3 display which you like to navigate to on this workplace.

Now you go to the workplace for this screen in the workplace structure, there you can select in the TabGrouping Aspect “TabButtons” the new tree in the functional structure. So this workplace will show only the three button you like to display.
Configure the TabGrouping Aspect only for one screen to have not the multiscreen buttons.
I hope you can follow my steps. If not ask again
