1  Main Window

The Main window should use the standard autorun template for opening screen usage (large Data Management graphic down the left side) and contain the following:

·  The main window should have a title bar. The title should be: FactoryTalk Transaction Manager Welcome Page.

·  At the top of the main window, the FactoryTalk Transaction Manager product graphic and tagline (embedded graphic) should be displayed.

·  On the second line, the version number and CPR number should be displayed.

For example:

9.00.00 (CPR 9)

Note: For non-release builds, the build number should also appear on the opening screen.

·  At the right of the main window, a gray graphic badge should be displayed (with text overlaying the graphic). The text should update according to the cursor’s position over the main menu selections. This control should be populated using text from the associated .ini file (see section 1.5).
