Understand the behavior of the InTouch 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 Set windows to appear at runtime. Similarly, you can set a graphic to be the default symbol that appears on the web client when it is launched, see Set the InTouch Web Client home symbol.

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 InTouch 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. Selecting 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. Selecting on the Home symbol will not display any graphic or window.
