Vizuals
Vizuals can be created by dragging and dropping tags or alerts into the view. Usually there are several vizuals to choose from for one tag type (see picture). On some vizuals multiple tags can be droped.
After adding vizuals to the view, they can be arranged and configured using the view editor.
Vizuals cannot be operated when editing mode is active. Also, configured dynamizations are only active after leaving the editing mode. Some functions of Vizuals, such as writing tag values, depend on the user role or whether the tag is writable or readonly.
