Hi,
When the HMI (KTP1200 basic) powers up, the user has to enter their credentials to log in.

In the screenshot, ADMIN has already logged in (see top-left corner).

However, the "Login to Continue" button is still displayed in the middle of the screen.

If the user clicks on it, the HMI just beeps and does nothing - which is fine, but I would prefer the button to not be there at all, once logged in.

Can anyone offer suggestions on how to do this?
Do I need to update the Visibility/Animation settings? (see 2nd picture)

Thanks

Does anyone know an easy way of displaying a message box (e.g. "Login successful") when the operator has logged in?

At the moment, the "Login to Continue" button stays on the screen, even after a successful login.

Thanks

In the scheduler, add a scheduled task with the trigger 'user change'
On the event 'update' add the system function 'GetGroupNumber' and specify an output tag.
Use that tag to animate the button. For example make the button visible when the groupnumber is 0.

Brilliant - that worked a treat.
Cheers.
