However, you can run a global object display in test display mode, when developing an
application in FactoryTalk View Studio.

Adding controller instruction faceplates to an application

When you add an HMI server to a network distributed or station application, or when you
create a new local station application, you have the option to add the controller instruction
faceplate displays that are installed with FactoryTalk View SE.

In the Add Controller Instruction Faceplates dialog box, you can select to add some or all
of the faceplate displays. For details about options in the dialog box, click Help.

You can also add the controller instruction faceplates later, after you create the application
or HMI server. To do this, right-click the HMI server, and then select Add Controller
Instruction Faceplates
.

If you added a display previously, you can either replace the existing display or remove it
from the list of displays.

Working with faceplates in the Graphics editor

The faceplate displays you selected are added to the Graphics folder, under the Displays
and Global Objects icons.

To minimize the number of global object displays that must be loaded in the background at run
time, store the base objects used in an application on as few global object displays as possible.

Adding faceplate displays to an application affects the license count. Each added faceplate
display (.gfx file) counts as one display for activation purposes. The corresponding global object
display (.ggfx file) is not included in the count.
