Show Alt Text

There is an alternative text key called Alt Text that you can configure on panels to enable text to change between normal text and alternate text.

The Alt Text key can be placed anywhere on a panel. This key can be placed on all shift pages concurrently if desired to allow easy access.

When selected, it will turn red, and the panel will show the alternate text.

Dynam-EC (and third-party HCI clients) alias text labels will override whichever state the panel is in. For more information, see the Dynam-EC User Guide. You can enter alternate text on all the entity screens. You can toggle the Alt Text button to show or hide the alternate text.

One possible use of alternate text is to set up a dual language configuration on the panel, for example to allow panels to display Arabic by default in a Middle Eastern broadcast installation. English speakers could then select the Alt Text key on a panel to see the English equivalents to the Arabic labels.

Another use could be that both the role name and user name could be configured for each panel or beltpack port. This would allow panel users to see either the name or the role depending on the Alt Text mode selected.
