FactoryTalk View Studio - Link Up/Down to Multiple Objects

[ftube]

Hello everyone!

I am designing a system with two alarm lists which appear next to each other on a single display to show two sets of alarms simultaneously. Both lists will always have an alarm at the same time, but with different data trigger values.

I'd like to setup the buttons to scroll through the lists (Move Up/Down Buttons and Page Up/Down Buttons) so that one button press scrolls through each alarm list rather than having two sets of buttons.

Has anyone done anything similar to this or is it even possible?

I took a screenshot to help show what I am attempting to describe.

I know that each list can have a separate filter so having them both show different alarms is not a problem. The up/Down buttons are per page and not per object so it might work. Best to make some memory tag alarms and test run it.

Thanks for the reply Jax! I have the lists filtered so they show a different set of alarms like you mentioned, but I'm unsure about the buttons yet.

In the properties I have the option to send a press to the object with focus or specify a linked object. I tried putting two objects in the linked object dialog but that failed. So I was hoping there may be a way to share focus or independently control the position on the alarm list without using an up/down button.
