Commanding is the primary means of developing the visualization environment to be interactive and allow users to take action. These commands can be used to write values to data sources, trigger reports or transactions, or to directly control the user environment.
Commanding is the primary way to allow user interactivity in displays. A wide variety of actions can be enabled within displays, all through a standard configuration interface that does away with any requirement for scripting.
Writing values to a data source, either a static or dynamic value, is a fundamental action used in many displays. It can be used for animating buttons, sliders, and data input.
Display navigation commands are used whenever there is a need to load new displays, navigate forward or back, or to adjust the active display. These commands are the base tool set used to design the overall User Experience.
Aliasing is a core functionality delivered from Platform Services, and can be involved with controlling data tag paths, language translations, and color themes. Those aliases are also configured in runtime via standardized commands.
Showing and Hiding objects on displays can be accomplished in a few ways, and either automatically or by user action. Objects may be hidden for reasons of decluttering, security, aliasing, navigation, and many more.
Certain situations require that multiple commands be executed all together through a single user action. In this case, a batch command can be used to organize groups of commands into a single action set.
Trend and Chart views can accept commands from user action, allowing for an easy interface to add/edit/remove pens, change time ranges, and more.
Alarm viewers can accept commands from user action, allowing for an easy interface to acknowledge alarms, apply filters, or to edit or load different viewer configurations and other alarm management functions.
Recipes that have been configured within RecipeWorX can be manipulated directly from commands, both for upload/download as well as editing and creation of new recipes. This provides an alternative interface in addition to the dedicated controls.
Grid viewers can accept commands from user action, allowing for an easy interface to sort, group, or filter datasets, or to load new configurations.
A set of commands are available that offer more nuanced navigation within the runtime environment. They allow for setting the zoom of the display, centering on specific elements, or using predefined views. The are especially useful on geospatial and GIS organized dashboards or large, intricate diagrams.
Commands are available that link into the wider constellation of supporting tools, and are used to call methods within Platform Services, execute user-defined custom commands, or call out to 3rd party services.
