Abstract
A graphical user interface for an industrial control system including a computer. The graphical user interface includes a display device. A plurality of process graphics including at least one software object for controlling and/or monitoring real world objects controlled by the control system are arranged such that elements of at least a portion of at least one software object may be displayed on the interface displayed on the display device. Computer program instructions generate and display in the graphical user interface a main view including a first process graphic in a window. The first process graphic is a member of a predetermined group of process graphics. The main view includes a designated view including at least one tab directly linked to other members of the predetermined group. Selecting one of the tabs allows the user to navigate to one of the predetermined group of process graphics.
