Hi there, I'm looking for a way to switch to fullscreen mode on my perspective app so that the operators have no access to the browser settings. I want to trigger the event on a button click. What properties do I have to use to do that ? Thank you. ---

I doubt there's any built-in way to do that. Probably not even a supported/clean way, actually. And maybe no way at all. ---

I heard it is possible, it's just that I can't get the information. ---

I believe if you use Workstation, there is an option to switch between Kiosk mode and Windowed mode through an action - I haven't tried this myself yet, though.

Perspective allows for it via the [Fullscreen Action](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Component+Events+and+Actions#ComponentEventsandActions-FullscreenAction). Note that there is no scripting equivalent because browsers require this action be DIRECTLY triggered by a user action. You should also note that **by design** - the browser will always allow a user to escape fullscreen mode by pressing Escape. ---

So there is no way to block in fullscreen mode ? ---

No. Browser security requires that a user always be able to escape any override of default behaviors.
