You can customize the POD pushbuttons appearance as needed.

Button Size

You can specify the size of the pushbuttons in POD Maintenance on the Buttons Details screen. You can size the pushbutton on the POD to the entered percentage. Pushbuttons in the standard workstation that come with the system are sized to 100%. Blank defaults to 100%.

Some operating systems cannot display pushbuttons smaller than 100%. Some systems require a specific text size setting in the Internet Explorer. To set the browser’s text size in Internet Explorer, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose   View   Text Size  .

  2. Select Large or Larger.

Image

You can customize the appearance of a POD pushbutton with an image file. To add an image, proceed as follows:

  1. Place the desired image file to one of the following locations:

    • VisipriseMfg_ext\images directory (or a subdirectory) located beneath the installation directory

    • Somewhere on the local machine

  2. In the Image Icon field on the Buttons Details screen, define the path to the new pushbutton image using one of the following:

    • http://servername:port/VisipriseMfg_ext/images/filename.extension

    • drivename:/foldername/filename.extension

      For example, C:/images/myButtonImage.jpg

Color

To change the color of a button, do one of the following:

  • Embed the following code in the Button Label field:

    Button ID = START Button Label = Start<script>document.all.START.style.backgroundColor="green";</script>

  • Add the following code to com\genrad\app\common\client\podStyle.css:

    .podbuttonSTART {

    background-color:green;

    height:65px;

    width:100px;

    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans Serif;

    font-size: 1em;

    font-weight: bold;

    }

In POD Maintenance, change the pushbutton definition to:

Start<script>document.all.START.className="podbuttonSTART";</script>
