Use the Application Manager

The Application Manager is the first step in creating InTouch HMI applications and provides multiple options for application management.

The interface is divided into the Ribbon and the working area/canvas.

The ribbon contains the following menu items:

• File: The File menu is the default ribbon menu. It has five groups of related commands; Application, Main, Data, Import, and View. You can modify the application settings by using commands such as create, duplicate, delete, open in WindowMaker or WindowViewer, import, export, and many other common features.

• View: The View menu provides options to alter the view of the list on the canvas, such as List, Tile, or Details.

• Tools: The Tools menu contains important Application Manager tools like Node Properties, OPC UA Configuration, Find, and Insight Publisher.

• Help: The Help menu allows to access the InTouch HMI Help document, as well as view the Application Manager version and copyright version.

If the logged-in user belongs to the InTouchOperators Operating System group but not the InTouchDevelopers Operating System group, certain fields are disabled in the Application Manager ribbon. The following table indicates whether the fields are enabled or disabled for each group..

Note: An administrator who is not a member of the InTouchDevelopers or InTouchOperators OS groups does not see the application in Application Manager when default security settings are used. However, if the administrator has access to specific applications, they can perform all permitted actions on those applications.

The working area/canvas is divided into tabs and each tab represents an application type - InTouch, OMI, and Web Client.

When System Management Server (SMS) is configured, the system authenticates the currently logged in user. Auto logon uses the device login credentials to perform authentication automatically. After successful authentication, the user details are displayed in the profile.

Note: If the System Management Server (SMS) is not configured in the Configurator, the Profile information will not be displayed.
