Hi, is there a way to export all the ESDs helpscreen found in the ESD Diagnostic screen when you click on a single ESD, then click view and the help button?

I need to export all the HelpScreens for each ESD so that a user could view all the valves information associated to an ESD.

Do you mean take a screen dump (jpg or png) of mimics?

We will try to do a screen dump but I think she means export all the images

What context is ESD here?
It's certainly not a ClearSCADA term. Nor is ESD Diagnostic screen.

I assume that this relates to specific functionality put in place by an integrator for a specific customer system.
In this situation it will depend on how the integrator has stored this information within ClearSCADA.

It's possible that it's stored as a series of mimics, in which case these could be opened within ViewX and screenshots taken of each.
It might be a single mimic with animations to drive the displayed appearance, in which case taking screenshots would be a little more complicated, since it would need forcing of animation values.
It might all be derived from a database table somewhere, in which case accessing the database itself and massaging this into the data form you want is likely the best option.
