Content Types

Content types allow you to identify a particular type of graphical content (such as pages or faceplates). You can use them to specify what a pane will display when a piece of equipment comes in to context. This enables the Autofill functionality in a Situational Awareness project.

For information on how to add content types to a project, see Configure Content Types.

Once you have added a set of content types to a project, you can use them for the following:

• Pages — the Content Type property identifies a page as a particular type of page (see Assign a Content Type to a Page).
• Panes — the ContentType property specifies the type of content a workspace pane will display (see Configure Panes on a Master Page).

If a project was created using the Situational Awareness Starter project, the following content types will already be available via the SA_Include project:

• L1 — Level 1 pages
• L2 — Level 2 pages
• L3 — Level 3 pages
• L4 — Level 4 pages
• FP — Faceplate pages
• General — General pages (for example, alarm or trend pages)
• _Internal — Internal pages (any pages that are excluded by the autofill functionality and default menu).
