User Defined / Diagram

 

The User Defined / Diagram page allows the user to construct, in a some-what free-form manner, a page of items to display. The items on-screen automatically update. The User Defined page, once created, may be saved for later use and may be displayed within the Diagram page or in a window independent of the main MOMI PC Client screen. The MOMI PC Client must be running as the independent windows are still created by it.

 

The Diagram page starts 'empty'. The user clicks the box next to Design Mode to allow entry/definition of items on screen. The Design mode must be entered to initial place items on screen or later to move, remove, change values associated with an item or save the screen for later reuse. User Define screens are saved by the logged on User ID. Uncheck Design Mode to activate the screen. It may take several seconds for all fields to populate.

 

 

 

The following picture shows a box, label, data object and line added to the screen.

 

 

 

The box is an object used to group or gather items. A label allows the entry to user defined text to provide fixed text information. The data object provides many items for the user to choose from such as CPU, Process and System entities. The line provides an additional graphic for the user to separate or perhaps indicate data flows.

 

Once an item is on screen, such as the label, right-click over the item to bring up available properties. For the label, the font size and color may be changed. Many items may also be brought forward and placed on top of other items (i.e. Bring to Front) to moved behind other items (i.e. Send to Back).

 

 

 

Items may also be moved by placing the mouse over the item, the actual position varies, and left-clicking the mouse and holding while moving to the new location. The line is made to go in different directions by grabbing the size of the box and dragging it larger or smaller.

 

 

 

Enter a name for the User Defined screen in the field next to Design Mode and push Save so the screen may be available later for reuse. Existing screens are displayed by using the drop-down box at the end of the field then push Display.
