View

Description

View > Mini

This changes the smartLabel with white text and shadow and adds the view-mini class to the smartLabel.
This is used on the Floorplan Graphics by default.

View > Small

This changes the smartLabel with smaller font size than standard default and adds the view-small class to the smartLabel.
This is best used with size-set class.

View > Medium

This changes the smartLabel with slightly larger font size than standard default. This adds the view-medium class to the smartLabel.
This is best used with size-set class.

View > Large

This changes the smartLabel with larger font size than standard default. This adds the view-big class to the smartLabel.
This is best used with size-set class.

View > Size-Set

This alone does not change the smartLabel. It must be used in conjunction with one of the classes (small, medium, or large). When combined with one of those classes, the smartLabel is resized appropriately depending on size chosen.

View > Mini – Light

This changes the smartLabel with darker text and no shadow and adds the view-mini light no-shadow classes to the smartLabel.

View > Mini - Dark

This changes the smartLabel with dark text and no shadow and adds the view-mini dark no-shadow classes to the smartLabel.

View > Mini – Shadow

This is the same as View > Mini and adds the view-mini class to the smartLabel.

 

  • Add Value Only

The smartLabel only displays the value portion. If the point has actions, displays on the point and adds the valueOnly marker tag.
If the tag is added, the Styles options now displays Remove Value Only.

  • Add Disable Actions/Remove Disable Actions

This hides the on the smartLabel bound to a commandable point to not be commanded through the graphic and adds the disableActions marker tag.
If the tag is added, The Style options now displays Remove Disable Actions.

  • Set Command Point

This is used on a sensor point, and allows you to link a commandable point to a sensor so only one smartLabel is used.

This retains the smartLabels virtualPointRef value and status properties not the commandPoint properties. If the command point is overridden, the smartLabelis not purple. If both points have actions, the commandPoint trumps the virtualPointRefs actions. So you get the actions of the commandPoint.

  • Set Sensor Point

This is used on a command point, and allows you to link a sensor point on a command so that only one smartLabel is used.

This retains the smartLabels virtualPointRef actions and status properties. If the command point is overridden, the smartLabel is purple. If both points have actions, the virtualPointRef trumps the sensorPoint actions. So you get the actions of the commandable point.
