6.7. Configuration Object: Screen Name

About this task

(Overlay action only)

A screen name is required when an Overlay action is selected.

Note:
  • If you dragged a screen to create the node or selected the Overlay action, the screen name is already entered.

If you had selected No action or Script as the action type and change it to an Overlay action, a screen must be selected.

  • If a Script entry point was entered for a Script action, the Navigation Configuration Editor hides it, but does not lose it. If you select a Script action again, the hidden Script entry point will display.

Methods to assign a screen to an Overlay node include the following.

A Drag a screen icon to the Navigation Configuration Editor left pane to create a new node.
B Drag a screen icon in the Navigation Editor lower right-pane to the configuration object's Screen name field.

  • Enters the selected screen filename in the Screen name field.
  • Automatically enters the path type, absolute or relative, based on what has been selected.
