Enables the incremental compilation of the project.

Enables an incremental equipment update that only includes equipment and equipment types that have been modified since the last update occurred. See Update Equipment.

When you use a combo box to select a function (for a command or expressionA statement (or group of statements) that returns a value. An expression can be a single variable, a mathematical formula, or a function. field), a list of built-in Cicode functions and user-written functions displays. If you disable user functions, only the built-in functions are displayed in the list.

Enables the "Packing databases may take a long time" message window to appear when packing a database.

Enables the "Do you want to compile?" message window to appear when the project has been modified and Run is selected from the File menu. Normally, Citect SCADA compiles the project automatically (if the project has been modified) when Run is selected.

Enables the "Some variable tags were not found" message window to appear when a variable tag or tag reference is specified that does not exist in the database.

Automatically runs the Web Deployment Preparation tool every time you compile a project. Please be aware that this dramatically increases the amount of time taken for each compile, particularly for large projects.

If you select this option, the compiler will generate an alert message to identify any deprecated elements it detects in a project, that is any functions, parameters, or Kernel commands that are no longer supported.

By deselecting this option, the alert messages are still included in the displayed alert count, but they are not added to the error log.

The delay (in seconds) from the beginning of a database search until a search information window displays. The search information window displays the number of the traced records and allows you to cancel the search. You can cancel the search by selecting the Cancel button in the information window.

The maximum number of records that are displayed in drop-down combo boxes.

Enables the generation of alert entries for unused tags that are not used directly in a project. The alert entries are included in the Compile Messages panel when a full compile is run. By default this option is not selected.

Note: For this option Alert entries are generated only for a full compile, not an incremental compile.

If you select this option, the compiler will generate a 'tag not defined' alert in the error log for any tags detected that are not defined in the variable database.

As Citect SCADA2018 now allows you to include undefined tags on your graphic pages, this alert may be redundant and impractical. By deselecting this option, the alerts are still included in the displayed count, but they are not added to the error log.

This option is selected by default. Equipment.Item tag references will populate 'insert tag' list when adding objects to a graphics page. If not set the variable tag list will be populated.

Note: If this option is selected and no equipment has been configured, the list will be empty.
