General

uic page properties general
Name

Give each page a short, descriptive title to help navigate and organize your UI.

Page number

This identifier is used by other devices in the system to remotely load a specific page on the PDTS - see DyNet Page Flip Command.

Page type

Setting this to Area Control streamlines the setup process for area-specific pages by defaulting all component behaviours to the selected area. Use this option after duplicating an existing page from another area to instantly reconfigure all its components with a single change.

For navigation or multi-area pages, leave this set to Default.

Access level

This restricts unauthorized users from viewing the page (See Access Level Security).

Override stand-by time out

Enables a unique time-out period (1-300 seconds) for the page as required for additional security or convenience.

Theme

Overrides the default project theme for the selected page.

Background

Set a Background color or Background image for the page if required.

Size your background image to 1280 x 800px (W x H) to avoid distortion or resizing artifacts.

Behaviour

Function

A single Page field function can be triggered by tapping anywhere on the page background:

  • Activate preset - Triggers a lighting preset scene.

    Once selected and configured, the Activate preset function is not affected by changes to default area for Area Control pages. Make sure to manually update the Area property if required.

  • Task Control - Start the selected task.
