All the new displays you create will have these initial default settings.
To change the default settings for new graphic displays
1. Create a new display, and change its display settings to the desired default values.
2. Click OK to save the changes and to close the Display Settings dialog box.
3. Open the Display Settings dialog box again, and then click Set as Default at the
bottom of the dialog box.
The values selected for the previous display become default settings for new displays.
Docking displays to the FactoryTalk View SE Client window
At run time, graphic displays can be docked to an edge of the FactoryTalk View SE Client
window, so that operators can gain access to the displays at all times.
For example, you might consider docking:
 Navigational menus that provide operators with ways to move among displays in an
application.
 Headers or banners that provide specific information to the operator, such as the
current user’s name and area, or information about alarms.
 Control panels, that contain standard buttons for special purposes, such as changing
users, closing open windows, or sending information to a maintenance team.
Display command parameters for docking displays
To dock graphic displays, run the Display command with any of the following
parameters:
To let an operator dock a graphic display, provide a button object in another display, that
uses the Display command with one of the docking parameters as its press action.
When you make certain changes, the Set as Default button changes to Apply. This lets you
apply the changes to the current display without closing the Display Settings dialog box.
It does not affect the default display settings.
