To facilitate a faster and more reliable view of important process components, users can create one-click links to the process information they use most frequently. Creating a Quick Button accomplishes this.
We continue with our example of fetching online values for all of the process components whose name begins with “v”. We recall the list of online values from which we sent a command to the object v1. See the illustration below.
We wish to keep this list as we’ve defined it and therefore we would like to be able to display it again at a later time. Clicking the button at the top called Make Quick Button does this.
We are then taken to the Enter quick button text page as shown below. Then we key in a descriptive name for the new button, for example All V-Objects.
Upon clicking the OK button, we are brought out to the main Portal menu where we now can see that our Quick Button has been created as shown below.
