Screen Saver on C-more - V 6.20

Good afternoon, I have a page / screen that I want to use as a screen saver. Maybe every 5 minutes, if no one touches the screen, I would like for this screen saver screen to pop up. I know I can do this through the PLC by turning on a bit after a 5 minute timer is done, and use that bit in the "Event Manager Database ", but is there a way to accomplish this task through the C-More software alone? Thanks.

    I fought the same battle a few months ago. I spoke to two different tech's about it. There is no direct, native way to have a screen saver with C-More internally. Mind boggling.

    Side note, you 're quite a few revisions behind. 6.32 just came out a few days ago.

    Cmore does have a native screen saver built in. But it is just a blank screen and not the screen of your choosing.

    Is there much of a change from 6.20 to 6.32? The UI is all the same between the two, right?

    Do you know where that option is listed? I 've searched the help topics for "screensaver " "saver " "timeout " and nothing comes back on those. I 've also looked through every menu in the interface and can't find anything there either.
