Task Indicator in HMIs

The Task Indicator provides a user with relevant information regarding the status of the ActiveX Task List.

The ActiveX Task List and the Task Indicator work together. When the ActiveX Task List is connected, the Task Indicator does not display notifications; however, it changes color if the status of the ActiveX Task List changes.

The indicator can be configured to integrate visually with the host application by changing the size and background color of the indicator.

Note: At a single workstation, only one Task Indicator object and one ActiveX Task List object can be connected at a time per HMI application instance.
