Chapter 3-6: Input Processes

Scrolling Input Image Additional Attributes Option

When you select the Additional Attributes option on the Scrolling Input Images screen, the scrolling input Additional Attributes overlay is displayed as shown below, where you can access additional parameters.

Scrolling Input Additional Attributes Overlay

The scrolling input Additional Attributes overlay contains the following fields.

Image Offset:  Row/Column (optional) determines the placement of the rows and columns of this image, relative to the frame.  Row entries designate positioning, relative to the top of the frame. Column entries designate positioning relative to the left of the frame. If blank, the row/column position of the frame is assumed.  The default is blank.

Image Size:  Rows/Columns (optional) designates the number of rows and columns that comprise the displayed image.  The image cannot be larger than the frame it belongs to. If blank, the size of the frame is assumed.

Border Box?  Indicates whether or not APPX draws a box around this image before it displays to a user. The border does not consume rows or columns within the   space that is defined for the image, but does consume space on the screen. If blank, the value for the frame is assumed.  If the box specification is combined with an overline, an underline, or both, APPX replaces the top and/or bottom of the box with the overline and/or underline. This minimizes the space that is consumed by the border.  The physical space on the screen that is consumed by the box is system-specific.  The default is blank.

Skip if Live Operations?  Enter a logical value to control whether or not this image is executed/viewed during Live Operations.

RETURN Disposition option designates the effect on the image displayed for this frame of a user pressing return or selecting enter. There are three RETURN Disposition options.

NORMAL: Causes APPX to automatically control the disposition of the frame. The image for the frame displays until the process cycle completes (until all frames execute for one PCF record), at which time the image is removed.

CLEAR: Causes the contents of the frame to clear, but the image for the frame still exists and still obscures the contents of any prior images that it overlays on the screen.

REMOVE: Causes the frame itself to be removed, and will no longer obscure the contents of any prior frames that it overlays on the screen.

Physical Surface?  Enter a logic value to control whether or not this image is 'attached' to the physical surface.   If an image is attached to a physical surface, it will always display in front of images that are not attached to the physical surface, and panning options will not apply. The image will always be 'seen' by the user even if the logical surface is panned far to the right or other images (not attached to the physical surface) are executed.
