DTAM application files allow you to present screens in a meaningful
sequence, a hierarchy of possible tasks and operations. To do this, you will
need to specify a link for each screen.
The linking function is the basis of a DTAM operator terminal’s power and
flexibility. When screens are linked, the DTAM becomes an interactive
operator workstation, one that can guide an operator through a hierarchy of
operations. This hierarchy can be as simple or as complicated as your
application requires.
Note: All application screens must be created before they can be linked.
