AVEVA™ Viewing Application Graphics in a Web Browser Using the Web Client
When a folder is set as the Web Client Root folder
By default, the root of the Graphic Toolbox is set as the Web Client Root folder.
Setting the Web Client Home Symbol
You can set the default symbol displayed on the Web Client page when it is launched by setting the Web
Client Home Symbol.
1. Set the Web Client Root Folder, see Configuring Graphics for Viewing in a Web Browser on page 11.
The Home Symbol must be a child of the Web Client Root folder.
2. Under the Web Client Root folder, identify the home symbol.
3. Right-click the symbol and click Set Web Client Home Symbol.
The icon thumbnail ( ) will change to reflect the setting. If no home symbol is set, the Web Client web
page will display a blank page when launched. While viewing the Web Client in a browser, click the Home
icon on the Title bar to navigate to the home symbol.
Understanding the behavior of the Web Client Home Icon
Standalone applications can be viewed on the web client. Standalone application windows must be
converted to Industrial Graphics before they can be viewed on the Web Client. Only Frame windows and
Industrial Graphics can be viewed on the web client.
For InTouch applications, in WindowMaker you can use the Home Windows tab to set up windows that
will appear by default in WindowViewer, see Setting Windows to Appear at RunTime in the InTouch HMI
Visualization guide. Similarly, you can set a graphic to be the default symbol that appears on the web
client when it is launched, see Setting the Web Client Home Symbol on page 12.
If you have used the InTouch ShowHome script function, when the windows is converted to a graphic,
the script is converted to the ShowHome() function and will display the corresponding graphic as a Home
symbol in WindowViewer.
These settings will impact, which window or graphic appear on the web client by default when it is
launched. For an InTouch HMI application; there are two possibilities:
1. If Home Windows are configured
Even if the user has configured Home Symbols, on all occasions, only the Home Windows are
displayed by default. Clicking the Home icon will display the Home Windows.
2. If Home Windows are not configured
And the Home Symbol is configured, by default the home symbol will be displayed.
If no home symbol is configured then, by default, no symbol or home windows are displayed. Clicking
on the Home symbol will not display any graphic or window.
Viewing Application Graphics in a Web Browser
After you configure the Web Client application you can view the graphics in the web browser. For a list of
tested and supported browsers, refer to the Browser and Mobile Support section of this guide.
1. Launch an HTML5 supported browser, enter the URL: http://<hostname>/InTouchWeb or
http://<IPAddress>/InTouchWeb.
If your credentials are authenticated and a valid InTouch Web Server license is acquired, the
InTouch Web page is displayed. The Home Symbol will be displayed by default.
