Overview Block Header

The header sits at the top of the page and shows the name of the page. Tapping it goes back or to another page. It exists only in the new block design and replaces the two previous headers simple and value display there. It shows title, symbol and subtitle, optionally a floor selector and a message when faults are pending. On the right there are up to four status items, by default the time with the date. Without the new design the element only shows a notice and does not react.

Operation

Header with floors, message and status
  1. Symbol: a symbol in front of the title.
  2. Title and subtitle: the name of the page or a custom text, below it in small letters the subtitle, e.g. the name of the selected floor.
  3. Floors: one button per floor. The button of the floor whose page is currently open is highlighted. Tapping another button switches to its page.
  4. Message: appears as soon as the Block Fault messages function block is linked, so it always shows the state: red and pulsing with the number of alarms while an alarm is pending, orange with the number of warnings, green with "OK" when no fault is pending, grey with a dash as long as there is no data from the controller yet. Tapping it opens the list of messages.
  5. Presence: the symbol of the current state (Present, Absent or Vacation). Tapping it opens a sheet in which the state is chosen. The symbol connects by itself to the function block Block Presence of the project; no manual link is needed. If the project has no Block Presence, the symbol stays on Present, is greyed out and tapping it does nothing. If presence is not needed, the symbol can be hidden in the properties. If there are several presences (e.g. one per apartment), the symbol shows and switches the presence selected in the page properties, see Multiple presences.
  6. Status 2 and Status 1 (far right): a value of the installation, the time with date, or the weather, each with a small text below.

Tapping anywhere on the bar, not on a button in it, switches to the target page. If no target page is set, nothing happens. On Android the back key of the device works the same way. The tapped button or bar briefly shows a border in the accent colour.

The sheet "Messages"

It shows the pending faults of the Block Fault messages function block, unacknowledged ones first, each with its duration. Acknowledging is not done there but in the Block Fault messages control. If a page is set for the messages, the button To page ... at the bottom leads there.


Setup

This section is intended for the installer of the system.

The header fills the box defined in the editor. If the box is taller than needed, the content keeps its size and is centred; if it is lower, everything shrinks evenly. Whether it appears as a bar or floating is set by the parameter Form – the same as for the menu bar. Colours and shadow come from the style, see Styles.

With the right mouse button on the element:

Parameters

Display
Form Bar: the header fills the control element, is square, has no shadow and shows a fine line at the bottom – for a header across the whole page width. Floating: a rounded capsule with a shadow and a fine border that leaves a little gap to the border of the control element all around. The rounding is the same as for the floating menu bar. Existing headers keep their previous look: bar across the whole page width, floating otherwise.
Text Title of the header. Default is the name of the page. A line break is inserted with \n, two lines at most, text that is too long ends with "...".
Symbol in front of the title A symbol from the symbol selection. Default none: then the symbol of the page (page properties, Symbol) is shown, if one is set.
Subtitle None (default), Floor (full name of the floor whose page is open; it must be entered in the dialog Floors) or Text (the text of the field Subtitle text below it). The small line below the title.
Hide Present/Absent symbol Unchecked (default), the symbol is always visible; without a Block Presence in the project it is greyed out. Checked, the symbol is missing altogether and the title uses the space that becomes free. This also applies if the project contains a Block Presence.

Status
Status The button ... opens the dialog Status values with one row per status and the columns Type, Text and Format. The toolbar adds a status (+, four at most), deletes the selected one (−) and changes the order (up / down). Status 1 is at the far right, the others follow to the left; status items that are not created take no space. Apply transfers the changes to the page at once, the dialog stays open.
  • Value: the value of the address of the same name, the text below.
  • Time: time and below it weekday and date of the display device.
  • Weather icon+text: the symbol of the current weather, the text below.
  • Weather icon+name: the symbol, below it the description of the weather service; the text as long as there is no data.
  • Weather temperature: the temperature in °C, the text below; a dash without data.
The weather types need the OpenWeather function block. Default: one status Time (the time with the date). Format applies to the type Value only, default %0.1f, see Format specifications.

Floors
Floor selector Off (default), Beside the title (right after the title) or Own row (below the title across the full width). The selector appears only with at least two floors entered.
Floors The button ... opens the dialog Floors with up to eight rows: Page (the page the button opens; the button opens the page menu with search field as for the page call), Short name (text on the button, e.g. GF) and Name (full name, e.g. Ground floor). Every floor is a page of its own; the button of the page that is currently open is highlighted. The order of the rows is the order of the buttons.

Page call
Users No setting: the page is changed only to pages assigned to the logged-in user. A page without users is open to everyone, even without logging in. Also applies to the floors and the page of messages. See User management.

Address links

Status 1 (right) to Status 4 Optional. The addresses appear only for created status items of the type Value; the addresses move with the status when it is moved and are lost when it is deleted. The value is shown on every change. Not linked: 0 is shown.

The addresses of the Block Fault messages function block come only from the link (right mouse button), they do not have to be entered by hand.
