In most ways, an OMI ViewApp that you have opened in the OMI web client behaves just as it does in the OMI desktop client. However, there is an icon at the top right of the browser page which lets you use a few features which do not exist or are different in the desktop client.

Selecting this icon lets you choose from these features:
-
Full screen: Changes the OMI web client page to full screen mode. To leave full screen mode, press Esc.
-
Log out: Closes the ViewApp and logs you out of the web client. It opens the AVEVA Identity Manager login page so you or someone else can log back in as a different user, if desired. When you log back in, you see the web client home page so you can start any VIewApp.
-
Select screen: The web client can show only one screen of a multi-screen layout at a time. This area shows the current screen name. If your ViewApp uses a multi-screen layout, you can select the screen name or the down-arrow next to it, then select the screen to view.
Zooming in the OMI web client
To zoom the ViewApp display, with the mouse pointer in the pane, hold down the CTRL key and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.
Notes:
-
The maximum zoom level is 500%.
-
The current zoom level is shown at the bottom left of the layout.
-
Using the keyboard to zoom (CTRL SHIFT + or CTRL SHIFT -), zooms the entire browser window, not just the ViewApp display.
Panning in the OMI web client
To pan the display in a pane, use the scroll bars that appear if the content does not fit in the pane at the current zoom level.
