Configure PI Vision properties

PI Vision app properties can be shown in the Layout or ViewApp editors by placing the PI Vision app on a layout pane. After adding the app to a pane, its properties appear on the Properties page by functional groups.

To configure PI Vision OMI App properties

1. Open the Layout or ViewApp Editor and select the Toolbox tab.

2. Open the folder in the Toolbox that contains the PIVisionApp and select it.

3. Drag and drop the PIVisionControl (the app thumbnail) onto a layout pane.

4. Select the Properties tab for the layout.

   The Properties tab shows the properties of the PI Vision App, and is similar to the following screen capture. Properties are categorized as:

   • General: General properties are similar to the general properties of other OMI apps and define the control, content, and pane names.

   • Connection: Connection properties define how the app will connect to the PI Vision server and website.

   • Dashboard Displays: These properties define if a dashboard (saved) display will be shown, and define the display to be shown. Ad hoc and freeform displays must be disabled if a dashboard display will be shown.

   • Ad Hoc Displays: These properties define the parameters for showing ad hoc (temporary) display queries. Dashboard and freeform displays must be disabled if an ad hoc display will be shown.

   • Freeform Displays: These properties define the parameters for showing a freeform display from a URL. Ad hoc and dashboard displays must be disabled if a freeform display will be shown.

   • Context: This property disables or enables the ability to view the attributes of the currently selected asset in dashboard and ad hoc displays. If disabled, the app will show only the performance of those attributes defined by property settings within the dashboard or ad hoc display settings.

     Note: Context is not applicable to freeform displays.

   • Time Range: These optional properties set start and end times for dashboard or ad hoc displays (not applicable to freeform displays).

   • Appearance: These properties disable/enable toolbars and the Kiosk mode for dashboard and ad hoc displays (not applicable to freeform displays).

   • Browser: This property lets you designate a cascading style sheet to control the appearance of dashboard and ad hoc displays (not applicable to freeform displays).
