This tab contains default settings for the dialogs that are used in the visualization in runtime mode for text input and user management. In the input configuration of the respective visualization element, you define the dialog to be used.

Attention

The global settings in the Visualization Manager are effective for use in a web visualization only.

If a corresponding setting is also available in the input configuration of the respective visualization element, then it is used.

Settings for default text input
Numpad Dialog in the form of a numeric keypad that the visualization calls in runtime mode when the user activates the input field for a number (preset: VisuDialogs.Numpad).
Keypad Dialog in the form of a keyboard that the visualization calls in runtime mode when the user activates the input field for a text. Preset: VisuDialogs.Keypad
Use text input with limitation

Requirement: CODESYS Web Visualization is configured as display variant and the Default text input is Keyboard. Then the visualization supports keyboard input at runtime.

Settings for user management dialogs

You can configure your visualization with a user management. To do this, configure an element input for opening a user management. The VisuUserManagement library provides ready-made dialog visualizations for this purpose. The library is located in the installation directory (example: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\3S CODESYS\\CODESYS\\Projects\\Visu\\Dialogs\\VisuUserMgmtDialogs.library).

You can also use other visualizations as user management dialogs. The presets must be changed here in order to do this.
