Page Properties

General

Title

Will be displayed in the navigation and the page header.

Page Reference

This optional property lets you define unique short code that is human readable and helps to refer to that page without specifying its actual name. This is helpful especially in multilingual environments because

  • It helps your Support-Team to quickly navigate users.
  • It can be picked up by the product manual and documentation.

This icon will be displayed in the main navigation, the page header, and inside an embedded navigation of a Page Group.

Navigation

Display this page in navigation

Every page is automatically included in the main navigation. If you do not want this page to be reachable from within the main navigation, uncheck this option. The page will remain accessible and can be opened as an overlay or navigated to directly.

The Detail slot determines the page that should be displayed when an item has been selected.

Footer

Allows you to add action buttons to the footer, which will always be visible at the bottom of the page. Use this feature for significant actions that can be triggered on this page. It's perfect for the most important actions you can execute on a page.

Bear in mind that the footer does take up a bit of vertical screen space, something to think about if you're creating HMIs mostly for smaller screen sizes.
