    Tag GroupsTag groups save valuable development

    time by reusing portions of an application.For example, when opening or replacing apicture, the tag group file is read, and thesymbols in the picture are reconnected withthe corresponding substitutions definedin the tag group ile. One display may belaunched several times, each connected to adifferent set of data sources.

    Event SchedulerThe Event Scheduler acts as a transactionprocessor, allowing a user to perform tasksat specified times or intervals or triggered

    by events. Users can generate a report at theend of a shift or replace a display whena database point exceeds a speci ied value.For convenience and efficiency, events canbe run in the foreground or background. Trig-gers can run a simple action, or a complexVBA expression.

    Key MacrosKey Macros are user-defined key combina-tions that execute commands during runmode. Key Macros can be associated withProficy HMI/SCADA iFIX pictures, or withshapes in a Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX picture,or can be system wide. As an added benefit,the Key Macro Editor o ers an expert to cre -ate and manipulate VBA scripts.

    Online ConfigurationPatented technology enables Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX to be customized online to max-

    imize efficiency. Processes do not need tobe stopped, or recompiled, to make changesto the database, pictures, or other parts ofthe HMI application. And changes can beinitiated without having to shut down andrestart your system.
