# Set up run-time navigation

The way the operator moves between the graphic displays that make up a project is referred to as navigation. To enable the operator to navigate, you can create:

- A goto display button and link a graphic display to it. When the operator presses the button, the specified display opens.
- A return to display button. When the operator presses the button, the current display closes and the previous display opens.
- A close display button. When the operator presses the button, the current display closes.
- A display list selector so the operator can select the displays to open.

You can also automatically control display changes using the Remote Display Number control. Assign this control in the Global Connections editor, and configure the data source to change the control value and open displays as required. You can only open Replace displays remotely.

You can use the Remote Display Number control and display navigation objects in the same project. However, if the control is a non-zero value, the display navigation objects are disabled.

Tip: | To enable an operator to print a graphic display at run time, create a display print button in the display.
