SDS Initializer
A widget initializer sets some global properties for a new widget. The initializer can be set in the preferences: Menu 'CSS' -> 'Preferences' -> 'CSS Applications' -> 'Display' -> 'Default schema'.
All widgets
Alias The alias name of the widget is set to '$channel$'.
Connection state The connection states are indicated by the background color:
initialize
connected
connection lost
Alarm status The alarm status of a process variable is indicated by the widget border:
No Alarm
- no border
Alarm
Warning
