Configure a widget for a web-enabled AVEVA OMI ViewApp

Each widget incorporated in an AVEVA OMI web-enabled ViewApp must be individually configured to assign values to the widget's properties after being placed on a layout pane. For more information about widget properties, see Configurable properties in widgets.

Note: AVEVA OMI widgets are fully supported for web-enabled ViewApps. However, if you are using an on-premise ViewApp, you are advised to continue using AVEVA OMI apps instead.

To configure a widget for a web-enabled AVEVA OMI ViewApp

1. Open the ViewApp you intend to run on the web with one or more widgets.

   The ViewApp editor opens to show the layout of the open ViewApp.

2. Select Edit Layout from the drop-down list of the Layout field.

   

   The Layout editor opens to show the panes of the layout assigned to the ViewApp.

3. Select the Toolbox tab to show the Widgets folder.

   

4. Open the Widgets folder to show the widgets within it.

   Widget thumbnails appear near the bottom of the Toolbox area of the Layout editor.

5. Select the pane within the layout that you want to place the widget.

6. Select the widget that you want to place in the pane and use a drag and drop mouse movement to place the widget on the pane.

   

7. Select the widget on the pane and then select the Properties tab to show the properties of the selected widget.

   

8. Assign values to the widget's properties.

   Note: Widget color properties must be specified by the RGBA format. This is different from OMI App that specify color using the ARGB format.

   See Widget Properties for a description of each widget property.

9. Repeat this procedure for each widget to be placed in a web-enabled ViewApp.
