The pop-ups and slide-ins in V13 SP1 essentially control visibility.   As best as I have been able to figure out so far, you can have 1 slide-in screen from each edge, so this is useful mainly for hiding global functions.   You can configure a number of pop-up screens, and choose via functions or scripts which pop-up screen to display, so this looks useful for faceplates.

I am trying to see if I can implement something like tag prefixing in WinCC Comfort/Advanced, but I haven't come up with a clean way of doing it yet.   I can tie standard DB user type tags to a faceplate instance, but haven't come up with a way to change the tag connection at runtime for different motor, valve, etc. instances, or to be able to connect to optimized DB's using user-defined types.  

Hey K!ke

I've made a similar thread, and still cannot symbolic adress with UDT files, and tried accessing PLC Data types directly, you can see attached file and issue at
