Considerations when creating a ViewApp for the OMI web client

There are inherent limitations when using a browser-based application, compared to using a native desktop application. For example, the technology that underlies the web client does not allow the web client to open a process on the device on which it is running. If this were allowed, it could potentially be used to circumvent system security.

The considerations and limitations are divided into these types:

• Prerequisites for using the OMI web client

• Security Considerations

• General limitations of the OMI web client

• Limitations when using AVEVA Industrial Graphics

• OMI app limitations

• Widget limitations

• Layout Script limitations

• ViewApp Namespace limitations

• Responsive Layout limitations

  Note: Some of the limitations described here may not apply in future releases.
