The Site Summary Widget creates a color indicator that both displays the status of communications to the associated station and provides a click-able link to the built-in Station Page for the associated station tag. It also provides relevant information about the underlying station tag. The full display mode option is shown here:
The Site Legend provides a guide to the meaning of each color used in the icon.

Configurable properties available in the VGE for the Site Summary widget:
Basic Display Mode
When selected, only the site name will be shown on the label. Otherwise, the name, description and selected communication properties will be displayed.
Use Theme Color
When selected, the station page that opens when the operator clicks on this icon will use the color theme configured for the application. Defaults to gray if not selected.
Text Color
Use to change the color of all text used in the associated Station Page. Text defaults to white if left unselected. Click to open the Select Color dialog.
Click Action
The usual action upon clicking a Site Icon dot is for the site dialog to open. This dialog-type page is built into your application. As an alternative, you may choose to have no action occur, or you may select any page that you have created for the site. If using your own page instead of the site dialog, you should consider parameterizing that page so that it may display the tags relevant to the given server. See: Page Properties Parameters Tab.
Disable Options
Disable selected operator-interaction features of this widget.
See: Operator Interaction Controls
Note: You may wish to add a legend to the page so that operators can understand what the color codes of the dot mean. The legend can be found in the Site Tools folder of the Widgets palette.
