When it is shown for the first time by using the Cache After Displaying option in the
Display Settings dialog box. For details, see “Caching displays” on page 16-44.
Setting up keys to run FactoryTalk View commands
You can associate FactoryTalk View commands with objects in a display, or with the
entire display using object or display key animation.
You can also associate commands with keys that are independent of objects or displays,
and are available at all times throughout the system by creating client keys. For more
information, see “Creating client keys” on page 24-16.

Displays that you want to run in a fixed position, for example, menus or banners, can be docked
to the inside of the FactoryTalk View SE Client window. For more information, see “Docking
displays to the FactoryTalk View SE Client window” on page 16-51.
