Customizing What is Shown in the Web Client

Using a browser control with the typical Recipe Manager Plus URL allows you to show the normal web client within the InTouch HMI. However, you may want to show only the Execution view or even a subset of the Execution view. You would use the flexible execution component to do this.

You embed the flexible execution component in another application's window, such as an InTouch application window. The component is still web-based and is driven by customizing the URL. In general, all the functionality of the Execution detail pages is available, but the functionality can be customized by passing various URL query parameters. The action bar is not available for the summary pages. The following are the key points:

• The base URL brings up the typical summary view. The base URL is: https://<hostname>/RecipeManagerPlus/index_exec_comp.cshtml

  NOTE: If the SSL Certificate used by Recipe Manager Plus is Issued to Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), the URL will be https://<myserver.mydomain.com>/RecipeManagerPlus/index_exec_comp.cshtml

• The component operates with the summary and detail view or just the detail view. You can further customize the detail view to restrict functionality and use less screen space.

• It is similar to the web application in functionality but removes the header and menu.

• Optional arguments can be passed to the URL to control features. You can substitute a short name for the full argument name in the URL. For example, the InTouch HMI only supports 131 characters in a URL.
  

  Argument Name	Short Name	Default	Description
  EquipmentName	en	(no default)	If specified, the detail view appears. The summary view is not available and there is no Back button.
  AllowEditParameter	aep	true	If set to false (or 0), the Edit button is not available in the grid.
  ShowActionBar	sab	true	If set to false (or 0), the action bar with the Assign Formula, Download Formula and History buttons is not available.
  ShowDetails	sd	true	If set to false (or 0), the Equipment details page is not available. If the user is on summary page and show details (sd) is set to false then the user can navigate to the Equipment details page and can also see the details and the back button will also be available.
  ShowEquipmentParameters	sep	true	If Show Equipment Parameters (sep) is set to false (or 0), the Equipment Parameter grid is not available in the details page.
  ShowFormulaParameters	sfp	true	If set to false (or 0), the Formula Parameter grid is not available in the details page.
  ShowProcedure	sp	true	If Show Procedure (sp) is set to false (or 0), the Procedure tab is not available in the execution details page.
  ShowRecipeControls	src	true	If set to false (or 0), all the action buttons for Recipe and Formula are not available.
  ShowCapabilityControls	scc	true	If set to false (or 0), all the action buttons for Capability are not available.
  AllowViewHistory	avh	true	If set to false (or 0), the History option is not available even if there are Formula downloads and the current user has permission to view reports.
  ShowGlobalAlert	sga	true	If set to false (or 0), the global alert icon with the operator action required count is not available on the top right side of the page.

Important:

• If only one of the options Show Equipment Parameters, Show Formula Parameters, and Show Procedure is set to true, tab controls will not be available, and only one page is shown.

• If users assign a Formula to the Equipment, the tab controls will not be available because only one page, Equipment Parameters, is shown.

• If users have the necessary privileges, they can perform all operation except assign Formula in the SFC full screen.

• Users cannot adjust the height of the SFC panel and the grid panel when the Recipe is under execution. They can only collapse and expand the grid view panel.

• If users open the user interface by providing the Equipment name in the URL, the global count is the total number of Capabilities waiting for acknowledgment in that Equipment. In the Operator Actions slide-in window, only Capabilities waiting for acknowledgement in that Equipment is shown. The Navigate to Execution Summary button is not available in this case.

User privileges also enable or disable features. For more information, refer to the Working with Security chapter.

Viewing the Capability Instructions or Documents

You can view the instructions or documents for a Capability which are configured for a Capability instance in a Procedure.

The View Document option is available when you click the Capability instance in the Procedure. Clicking the View Document button displays the instructions in the sliding window. You can have the View URL option in a new tab depending on the configuration.

Viewing History

If Formulas have been downloaded to Equipment previously or a Recipe is executed and you have permission to view reports, when you access the Execution page the History icon is visible. You can click the icon to navigate to the Equipment page to view information about the previous downloads or the Recipe execution. Click the back button to return to the Execution page.
