Industrial Graphics limitations in the OMI web client

When including AVEVA Industrial Graphics in an OMI ViewApp for use with the OMI web client, there are some limitations and behavioral differences which you should keep in mind.

In general, be sure to test your ViewApp using each browser and type of device (for example, workstation, tablet, and/or phone) that it may be used on. This is especially true when the ViewApp was first developed for the OMI desktop client or when it includes any of the industrial graphics supplied as defaults with System Platform. Some of the supplied graphics use features or settings which are not supported in this version of the OMI web client. Also, some graphic elements may be displayed in the wrong location in the web client.

General limitations when using industrial graphics in the OMI web client include:

• Custom properties with History Summary data type are not supported. All other custom properties are supported.

• Text in a graphic may not wrap properly even when word wrap is set to true.

• Graphics which extend to the very edges of a layout pane may have their edges cut off in the web client.

• A widget used within a graphic in the OMI Web Client is always positioned at the top of the element stack. Therefore, any graphic element drawn over the widget will be positioned behind the widget.

• In the OMI web client runtime, each symbol has just one layer for widgets/common controls and another layer for other elements (such as a rectangle or textbox). Even though other elements can be configured on top of widget/common controls in the Graphic Editor, they always will be displayed behind the widget/common controls in the OMI web client runtime.
