The Trend Control leverages Single Sign-On functionality, so you experience a seamless Single Sign-On from WindowViewer. This section explains about the behavior of Trend Control in Operations Control connected experience.
Work with Trend Control in Operations Control connected experience
Configurator settings:
Apart from the other Configurator settings mentioned in the Configure Operations Control connected experience section, you have to configure the the following:
-
Configure AVEVA Historian Server. For more information, refer to the Configurator help.
-
In the Configurator, go to AVEVA Historian > Security.
-
Select Add External Groups.

-
In the Add External Roles window, groups that are in CONNECT are listed. Under Connect Groups column, select the required CONNECT group that the Trend Control user will be part of, and then click on the vertical ellipsis (three dots) and select either Historian Administrators or Historian Power Users.
Note: For the Trend Control to work in Operations Control connected experience, the user of Trend Control must be part of an CONNECT group and that group must have Historian Roles as Historian Administrators or Historian Power Users.

-
Select Save and then select Configure.
Configure Historical Logging
Once you configure the Configurator, you must configure the Historical logging in WindowMaker. For more information refer to the Configure general logging properties storage to Historian section of the AVEVA™ InTouch HMI Application Development Guide (ITBuild.pdf).
