*** Prompt Command Complete
There are 2 types of prompts that can be created: Predefined and Custom.
Predefined:
To get a list of predefined prompts use the prompt list command. To create a
predefined prompt simply type "prompt #" where # is the prompt number listed.
You can create the prompt as a child to an existing prompt by specifying the
parents ID after the prompt number (eg. "prompt 26315 2"). To get the parent ID,
simply find it in the info displayed by typing prompt. A child cannot have any
buttons so make sure the button column has an N for no buttons when you do you're
"prompt list" command.
Custom:
You can create a prompt which says whatever you want and you can give it up to 4
buttons or make it a child to an existing prompt. To create a custom prompt
use this syntax:
>>prompt "This is your text in here"
To make this prompt a child, add a parent ID after you message, like this:
>>prompt "This is your text in here" 2
(You can get a list of active prompts by just typing "prompt")
Instead of making it a child, your prompt can have up to four buttons, simply
specify what each button is to say. 1 button and 4 button examples are:
>>prompt "Hit OK once the air pressure is restored" "OK"
>>prompt "Where is the plate located" "Picker" "Bay" "Table" "Drum"
Only Print Console v2.1 and higher supports the operator prompts.
Main message is limited to 110 characters
Button Text is limited to 15 characters per button.
