The user interface can optionally be operated in light or dark mode, whereby dark mode is preferably used in darker working environments.
In the settings it is possible to switch from one mode to the other. In the settings, you can switch alternately between these two operating modes. The operating mode then selected is retained at the next restart.

The dark mode is new compared to previous PACTware versions.

In the headline row of the device catalog, sorting and filtering can be performed according to different criteria. Sorting is done by clicking directly on the heading in the Device column. The corresponding arrows can then be used to sort in ascending and descending order.

The other columns 'Type', 'Protocol', 'Vendor', 'Group', 'Device version', 'FDT version' and 'DTM version' can be sorted and filtered.

With the function 'Set search filter' a text based filtering is done in the corresponding column.

Protocol describes the FDT based protocol type of the entry. It can be a standard protocol like Profibus and HART, but also a manufacturer specific protocol

Group is used to describe the assignment of the entry to an application related property

Filtering is also possible for these column headers

In the context menu/three-dot menu without column header (between device and type), the installation status of the DTM is displayed. Here, too, filtering is possible with the displayed criteria.

In the settings it is possible to switch alternately between these two operating modes.
