ViewApp behavior in the web client

In most ways, an OMI ViewApp behaves the same in the OMI web client 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.
Pan and zoom in the OMI web client
Panning and zooming using the mouse works differently in the OMI web client than in the OMI desktop client. It also works differently than panning and zooming in most web applications. The table below shows how various mouse actions work in the two OMI clients.

The current zoom level is shown at the bottom left of the layout.

Using the keyboard to zoom (CTRL SHIFT + or CTRL -), zooms the entire browser window, not just the ViewApp display.

You can also pan using the scroll bars that appear if the content does not fit in the pane at the current zoom level.
