Backings
Backings make placement of objects in the Standard view more convenient for perception. Backings are for informational purposes only, they are not involved in monitoring processes.
| Backings do not have IDs. Backing change history can be seen in the change log of the parent object. |
| A backing name, in contrast to an object name, can be empty. |
Backing creation
In order to create a new backing it is sufficiently to:
-
click the button
in the Main toolbar(a backing name will be required);
-
select the field
in the context menu(a new backing with the empty Name field will be created immediately).
Backing context menu
With the right click on a backing the backing context menu appears. Using the menu, a backing can be renamed, deleted or cloned.
| When a backing is cloned, the elements on the backing are not cloned. |
Backing settings
Info modal is available for backings. There are following tabs in the window:
-
General. The backing name can be set here. The name is displayed at the bottom left corner of the backing.
-
Background. The background image can be set and displaying of the image can be turned on/off here.
-
Styles. The backing appearance can be set here, using CSS.
With moving a backing around the screen or stretching/compressing the backing, the values of the properties responsible for backing size and location will be automatically recalculated.
