Understanding Screen Hierarchy in SCADA

In a SCADA system, screens are organized in a hierarchy to allow easy navigation. Which statement best describes the purpose of a parent screen?

AA parent screen is the last screen in the navigation path with no children.
BA parent screen acts as a container that groups related child screens for organized navigation.
CA parent screen is a temporary screen used only for alerts and notifications.
DA parent screen is a screen that cannot be accessed directly by the user.

Configuring Screen Hierarchy in SCADA XML

Which XML snippet correctly defines a screen hierarchy where 'Dashboard' is the parent of 'Temperature' and 'Pressure' screens?

SCADA systems
<screens>
  <screen id="Dashboard">
    <!-- child screens here -->
  </screen>
</screens>
A
&lt;screens&gt;
  &lt;screen id="Dashboard"&gt;
    &lt;child id="Temperature" /&gt;
    &lt;child id="Pressure" /&gt;
  &lt;/screen&gt;
&lt;/screens&gt;
B
&lt;screens&gt;
  &lt;screen id="Temperature"&gt;
    &lt;screen id="Dashboard" /&gt;
    &lt;screen id="Pressure" /&gt;
  &lt;/screen&gt;
&lt;/screens&gt;
C
&lt;screens&gt;
  &lt;screen id="Dashboard" /&gt;
  &lt;screen id="Temperature" /&gt;
  &lt;screen id="Pressure" /&gt;
&lt;/screens&gt;
D
&lt;screens&gt;
  &lt;screen id="Dashboard"&gt;
    &lt;screen id="Temperature" /&gt;
    &lt;screen id="Pressure" /&gt;
  &lt;/screen&gt;
&lt;/screens&gt;

Designing a Navigation Workflow

You need to design a navigation workflow where users start at 'Home', can go to 'Reports', then to 'Daily' or 'Monthly' reports, and return back to 'Home'. Which sequence of navigation commands correctly implements this workflow?

Anavigate_to('Reports') → navigate_to('Home') → navigate_to('Reports/Daily') → navigate_to('Reports/Monthly')
Bnavigate_to('Home') → navigate_to('Daily') → navigate_to('Monthly') → navigate_to('Reports')
Cnavigate_to('Home') → navigate_to('Reports') → navigate_to('Reports/Daily') → navigate_to('Home')
Dnavigate_to('Home') → navigate_to('Reports/Monthly') → navigate_to('Reports/Daily') → navigate_to('Home')

💡 Hint

Think about the logical order of screens and returning to the start.
