Set Up Runtime Navigation

Use the Navigation app to visually structure the Runtime hierarchy of objects in Web HMI.

Changing the root of an existing Runtime navigation hierarchy requires that you clear the entire hierarchy and then rebuild it.
  1. In the Administration environment, navigate to Visualizations > Navigation.
    All objects appear in the left panel with check boxes.
  2. Select the parent check box and then select + at the top of the left panel.
    The parent object instance appears in the app area. The following shows the FinishedWaterPumpStation parent.

  3. Select the parent object in the app area, select its children in the left panel and select +.
  4. In the app area, expand the parent object to show its children by selecting its filled circle.
    In this example, the FinishedWaterPumpStation has three DisplacementPump children.
  5. To add object instances to a child, select the child in the app area and select its descendants in the left panel.
    In this example, SunctionValveA is a descendant of DisplacementPump1D.
  6. You can also drag and drop objects within the hierarchy to change their order, as shown in this example. SunctionValveA is now a child of FinishedWaterPumpStation.
  7. Optional: To delete an object from the hierarchy, select its check box and then - at the top of the left panel.
  8. Optional: At any time, you can remove the hierarchy and start with a blank app area by selecting Clear Hierarchy.
  9. To save the Runtime hierarchy that you created, select Save.
