Deleting Elements
On Screen Elements cannot be deleted if they are still associated to a Terminal screen. Remove them from any terminal screen before trying to delete them.

Every On Screen Element (button) on the Workbench has a set of functions assigned to it.  Functions are used to pre-define the button’s behaviour and processes that will be executed in the background by pressing that button.  The table below provides an explanation of the functionality behind each On Screen Element.

To create, edit or delete on-screen elements the user must be a member of the Administrators Role.  On Screen Elements are maintained from Advanced Settings.
