The pages in the System Page Template, and the buttons they contain are locked for editing.
However, once the copied buttons are pasted into a page in your project, they can be modified just
like any other button in the project.
Working with System Page Keyboards and Keypads
One of the most helpful features of the System Page Template is the set of keyboard and keypad
System Popup Pages it contains. You can use these keyboards and keypads in your Project without
having to build the keys or assign the function codes. Use the keyboard and keypad System Popup
Pages anytime you need to add text/numeric entry functions to your Project.
The System Popup Pages include:
Use the keyboard and keypad System Popup Pages anytime you need to add text/numeric entry
functions to your Project.
There are two ways to add a keyboard or keypad to your Project:
1. Copy and Paste the entire Keyboard or Keypad Popup Page into an existing project: Select
the appropriate System Template Popup Page in the Workspace Navigator (Pages tab), select
Edit > Copy, then select the target Project in the Workspace Navigator and select Edit > Paste.
The pasted popup page is automatically pasted to the Popup Pages folder for the target Project.
2. Copy and Paste only selected elements from a Keyboard or Keypad Popup Page into an
existing project: Open a Keyboard or Keypad Popup Page, and copy only the buttons/keys that
you plan to use into an existing page in a Project.
Either way, you won't have to do any additional work to make the keyboard/keypad work on the
panel. However, remember that once pasted into your Project, these popup pages and buttons are
fully editable.
