Spreadsheet Cells to WebPage Controls

When using the Create a WebPage from Selected Cells option, the following table lists the supported Spreadsheet functions, as well as the association between the Spreadsheet cell and the automatically created and configured WebPage User Inputs and Vision Controls and Displays elements.

Note:
  • The default values used in the WebPage element's configured properties will be based on the values in the Spreadsheet at the time the WebPage was created.
  • When using this option to generate a WebPage, the Bound property is the only aspect of the Spreadsheet function that will be updated based on the interaction in the WebPage. The state of the cell (established using the Cell State Dialog) will not be automatically configured. For example, if a cell is conditionally enabled, and its state is changed while offline by pressing the button, the related WebPage element will not be enabled and/or disabled.

    Once the WebPage has been created, except for the bound properties, any changes made to the WebPage and/or Spreadsheet will not be reflected in the other. Therefore, there are two options to keep the two in sync:

    1. Create a new WebPage based on the updated Spreadsheet values.
    2. Manually update the WebPage and Spreadsheet to keep them synchronized.

Note:
  • When these functions are selected, the AcquireImage function they are referencing will automatically be selected and configured as a Vision Controls and Displays user input, even if the cell containing the AcquireImage was not selected at the time the WebPage was created.
  • The Border Color properties will be set to the color used by the associated Display user input.
