LINKED SYMBOLS
Linked Symbols – Goals and Benefits
Improve productivity (save time): Design once (master symbol), deploy
many times (instances of the symbol) Modify the master symbol and
automatically update all its instances
Improve quality: Enforce consistency throughout
the project
Enjoy flexibility: Customize your own library of symbols Share symbols through different
projects
Native Object-Oriented Configuration in a user-friendly environment!
Linked Symbols – Design
Libraries:
System Symbols Library: Product-based library (e.g.: C:\Program Files (x86)\InduSoft Web Studio v7.1\Symbol\*.*).
Project Symbols Library: Project-based library (e.g.: C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\InduSoft Web Studio v7.1 Projects\PCDemo\Symbol\*.*).
System Symbols Library Project Symbols Library

Screen Editor

Linked Symbols – DesignCustom Properties Definition: Properties from the Linked Symbols, which can be customized individually for each instance of the master Linked
symbol.
Alphanumeric alias for the custom property(e.g.: ValveState).It follows the same rules for tag names:- Up to 1024 chars- Letters (A..Z), numbers (0..9),
and underscore (_)- First char cannot be a number- Not case sensitive.
Optional default value for the custom property. Possible options:- Number (e.g.: 10)- String Text (e.g.: “On”)- Tag Name (e.g.: Level)- Expression (e.g.: (Level+10))
#Custom_Property_Name:[Custom_Property_Default_Value]
Custom Properties Syntax:
Hash sign (a.k.a. number sign) Colon character
Custom Properties Behavior: During the runtime, everything between the hash sign (#) and the colon character (:), including these two characters,
are ignored, and the runtime executes only what is written after the colon character.
Linked Symbols – Design
Examples:
Custom Property Remarks
MyProperty Invalid syntax. Missing # and :
#MyProperty Invalid syntax. Missing :
MyProperty: Invalid syntax: Missing #
#MyProperty: Correct syntax. No default value.
#MyProperty:10 Correct syntax. Default value is the numeric value 10.
#MyProperty:”ABC” Correct syntax. Default value is the string (text) value ABC.
#MyProperty:TagA Correct syntax. Default value is the value of the tag called TagA.
#MyProperty:(TagA+10) Correct syntax. Default value is the result of the expression TagA+10.
Linked Symbols – Design
Advanced Feature:
You can associate the same Custom Property Name (alias) to different values, as long as all default values associated to the same custom property are members from the same class tag.
In this case, when configuring each instance of the Linked Symbol, you just need to customize the main tag name (and/or array position) and all class members are automatically re-assigned to the new tag name (and/or array position). The new main tag name assigned to the instance of the Linked Symbol must be from the same Class type from the original main tag defined as default value of the custom property.
Linked Symbols – Design
Examples:
Custom Property Remarks
#MyProperty:MainTagA.Member1#MyProperty:MainTagB.Member1#MyProperty:MainTagC.Member1
Invalid syntax. You must not associate the same custom property name (MyProperty) to different main tag names (MainTagA, MainTagB, MainTagC).
#MyProperty:MainTagA.Member1#MyProperty:MainTagA.Member2#MyProperty:MainTagA.Member3
Correct syntax. The same custom property name (MyProperty) was associated to different members (Member1, Member2, Member3) from the same Main Tag Name (MainTagA).
#MyProperty:MainTagA[1].Member1#MyProperty:MainTagA[2].Member2#MyProperty:MainTagA[3].Member3
Invalid syntax. You must not associate the same custom property name (MyProperty) to different Array Positions ([1], [2], [3]).
#MyProperty:MainTagA[1].Member1#MyProperty:MainTagA[1].Member2#MyProperty:MainTagA[1].Member3
Correct syntax. The same custom property name (MyProperty) was associated to different members (Member1, Member2, Member3) from the same Main Tag Name (MainTagA) and same Array Position ([1]).
