6.1.1Menus and Symbol Bars

The menus and the symbol bars contain all the functions you need to configure your operator panel. If a corresponding editor is active, menu commands or symbol bars are visible specific to the editor. If you point to a command with the mouse pointer, you will get a corresponding QuickInfo for each function.

When a new project is set up, the symbol bars are positioned at the upper screen boundary as a matter of standard. The position of the symbol bars is coupled to the user that is signed on in Windows. If you have moved symbol bars with the mouse, the positions that the symbol bars had at the last close are restored after starting WinCC flexible.

The following menus are available in WinCC flexible:

The availability of the menus and their instruction set depends on the editor that is used.
