View an editor's components
With some editors you enter information in a single window or a tabbed dialog box. Other
editors allow you to create multiple components, such as graphic displays or message
files. Each component is stored in a separate file, with its own name.
You can create components in these editors:
 Graphics (components include graphic displays, global object displays, and graphic
libraries, each in their own folder)
 Alarms
 Parameters
 Local Messages
 Information Messages
 Data Log Models
 Macros
 RecipePlus
The Explorer window lists the components you create under the icon for the editor you
used to create the component.
Use the Images editor to copy bitmap images into your application (but not to create new
images). Each image you copy is listed as a component under the editor.
To view a list of components for an editor
 Click the + symbol to the left of the editor icon, or double-click the editor name.
For information about working with components, see Chapter 18 in the FactoryTalk View
Machine Edition User’s Guide.
