User Interface
5. USER INTERFACE
The Omnivex SCADA user interface is designed to effectively manage industrial automation processes. It features an accessible and user-friendly structure, incorporating modern visual and functional components that facilitate user interaction with the system. Tools have been developed to optimize the user experience and minimize challenges. The interface includes the following panels: Project Explorer, Workspace Area, Toolbar, Properties Window, and Status Bar. These panels can be hidden as needed.

5.2 Workspace Area
The Workspace Area is the main space in the Omnivex SCADA interface where users design and modify their projects. It allows for the placement and customization of graphical components and offers features such as dynamic visualization, layered structure, and multi-component management. Additionally, the zoom-in/out function enables detailed adjustments and an overall view of the project.

5.3 Properties Window
Properties Window is a panel in the Omnivex SCADA interface that allows users to view and edit the properties of selected components. Through this window, users can easily modify attributes such as color, size, and position of graphical elements. Additionally, component labeling and function assignments can be done here. The Properties Window is where all page settings are configured, including page layout, background colors, and other related adjustments. Users can also modify the behaviors and functions of components, ensuring the project is fully customized and optimized.
