Chapter 7 FactoryTalk Batch ActiveX controls introduction
92
The format of the PromptsList interface varies, depending on the container in
which the control is placed and how the control is formatted within that
container. However, the generic control functions in the same way regardless
of the container in which it is placed, and still allows an operator to recognize
and respond to any unacknowledged prompts.
The PromptsList control includes a shortcut menu that can be accessed by
right-clicking anywhere within the control. The shortcut menu allows you to
log in to the View Security and to acknowledge prompts. The Acknowledge
option on the shortcut menu is specific to the prompt that was right-clicked,
and is disabled if a prompt was not clicked.
Like the Unacknowledged Prompts window within the FactoryTalk Batch
View, the PromptsList control is used to acknowledge any prompts generated
while running a batch. Unacknowledged prompts remain in the PromptsList
window until the prompt is acknowledged or until the batch is STOPPED or
ABORTED. The PromptsList control can be accessed in several different ways:
• Placing the control within a web browser
• Using Windows Explorer to open an executable (.exe)
• Creating a shortcut for the control on the Windows Desktop
• Adding the control to the Batch folder in the Start menu
Consult your System Administrator for information on setting up and
executing any of these options.
The SignatureList control displays a list of pending Signatures waiting to be
acknowledged. Signatures are requests for an operator to provide one, two or
