Relative Facilities, Canvas, and You

January 7, 2020 / 0 comments / in / by Blake Miller

Relative facilities have been around in CygNet in some shape or form for many years.  And along the way, there were enhancements made to Studio to assist in creating multi-facility templated screens based on a relative linking model.  However, with Canvas, that relative linking functionality and resolution was baked into the product at the very beginning.   In this post, I’m going to discuss some design considerations and implementation ideas that I hope will help as you create Canvas screens.

We’re excited to announce the next release of the CygNet Report Module. We’ve added a number of cool new features, all of which came from suggestions from our users, so keep those good ideas coming.

An Exclusive Event…Only a Select Few Can Even Hear About It

Consider this scenario.  I have an overview grid screen that has a list of wells with some high level information.  I click on one of the wells and a separate screen opens with more detail.  On that detail screen, I click on a button that opens another screen that has a trend with various well points.   Cool, I have separate dedicated screens that I’m able to view the various bits of information I desire at the same time.  Now I want to be able to select on a different well on the first screen and have the other screens follow.  And, I want to be able to look at multiple sets of these screens for different wells at the same time.  How can I do that

In my previous post How to change a tab strip selection, I discussed the use of HyperLinkSys as a means of passing data from a nested view screen to its parent screen. In that technique, the data passed from the nested view was used to change the selection of a tab strip on the parent screen. In keeping with the theme of initiating an action from a nested view, I will present a different technique using custom events for more complex interactions.

Well as a similar joke goes, first the tab strip has to want to change.

Tabs are commonly used in screen navigation. They do a good job of helping us organize our screens and they don’t require a lot of screen real estate. I used them extensively when building CygNet for Production. So much so that Applied Engineering built an entire management system to control the configuration of the tabs, but that’s a story for another day.

The DEID is connected to the UDC,
The UDC is connected to the Facility…

Remember that childhood song? Perhaps I took some liberties with the words but I think they also work in a truly geeky CygNet way.
