Hi,
Our current view structure looks like this:
Primary View
-
Primary Sub View 1
-
Primary Sub View 2
Secondary View
-
Secondary Sub View 1
-
Secondary Sub View 2
The issue we are facing is that, in the Visio file, the status of the Primary View also depends on the status of Secondary Sub View 2, even though it belongs to the Secondary View hierarchy.
Is there a way in the Visio file to reference or link the status of Secondary Sub View 2 directly to the Primary View, so that the alarm status can be reflected correctly without affecting the existing view hierarchy?
Hi Robin,
You could link a shape to a specific view using the shape data `View` (see Linking a shape to a view)
Hope it helps.
Hi Miguel,
The final status of the shape in our Visio depends on:
1. Primary View
2. Second Sub View 2
And, Dataminer allows only 1 view per shape (which is currently linked to Primary View), is there a way to resolve this?
Thank you for your support.
Hi Robin,
If you are planning to aggregate views from different hierarchies, then a possible option is to use the data shape AlarmSummary:
https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/devguide/Visio/linking_shapes/Linking_a_shape_to_an_alarm_filter.html
You could build your alarm filter by combining alarms from different views. The option `alarm` will make the shape background to take the color associated with the summary alarm state of the alarm list.
Hope it helps.
Can you shed more light on where the dependency is coming from..What ties the Primary view and Secondary sub view 2 together, such that you want the alarm status of Secondary sub view 2 to be reflected in the Primary view ?
