From Windows File Explorer, change the search setting to search the file contents and do a search for the image name (spelled exactly correct) from the base folder where you exported the .xml files to. ------------------------------ Art Walls ------------------------------

You can export all the displays into a folder, or a set of folders, then do a text search for the image name. That should return the names of all the displays containing the image. ------------------------------ Art Walls ------------------------------

You could use an HMI tag. It would require updating the tag for each project, but that a fairly small thing to do. ------------------------------ Art Walls ------------------------------

If you are having problems with a display not updating with the latest version from the server, you can also try using Cache Manager to clear cached copies of the displays. They should be updated automatically as noted above, but sometimes they get hung up a bit. ------------------------------ ...

Do you have a yellow circle at the bottom of the alarm summary? If so, double-click it and it should tell you what the alarm faults are. ------------------------------ Art Walls ------------------------------

Try configuring the client file manually, it will walk you through the different configurations. What I think will help is that as you make each selection on the initial page for application (Network Distributed/Network Station/Local Station), connect to application, HMI Server name, and the display ...

We experienced something similar. We built a test environment with just one each directory, hmi, data and OPC server and a client workstation. We installed our current FTView version 12 production software and built some test screens and verified everything looked right. The registry settings were changed ...

I agree, it would be nice to have access to these alarms. We use the AlarmClass to direct alarms to specific operator stations and cannot do that with these alarms generated from the data server connections. I saw Philip's comment about adding a delay to an alarm, but don't know if it is possible to ...

RE: FT Alarms&Events - Change TagBased Alarm Name

My mistake, it has been a while since I've done this. By replace, I meant to choose the "delete all existing alarms" option on import. Again, though, this will reset all the alarm statuses, which will be seen as a new timestamp on the alarm summary and unacknowledged. ------------------------------ ...
