I am working with version 8.1.1 and am wanting my nav to be docked on the north which works great. Whenever I swap windows using the nav, the window open fullscreen on top of everything including the nav. I am only looking for it to fill the space not occupied by the docked window. I m not sure what I am missing.
are you using system.nav.openWindow to navigate?
If you want it to navigate using the “free” space, system.nav.swapTo
I am using a tab strip with Navigation mode set to Swap Windows
Do your window properties look like this?
The window that’s being navigated to should have dock position floating.
Can you provide a screenshot of what you’re seeing when you log into a client and after navigating to another page?
I can confirm that my window is Floating, Location is 0,0 size is 800x470
I have not yet run a client as I am still developing. Will the client behave differently than preview mode?
Ah okay that explains it. Yea navigation can only be seen/tested in runtime. In designer mode it'll just open actual windowed tabs (like when you double click a window resource).
But if you're doing things like opening a window and passing params, that'll happen in designer as well just without the same user experience from runtime.
OK, thanks for the heads up. I will try a client and see what happens
in trying the client I am asked for login creds - I am unsure of the login credentials
Are you doing using 7 or 8? 7's default was admin/password. 8 required you to set up manually during the commissioning phase.
using 8.1.1
the creds that I use to login to the gateway do not work
I left everything else as default
couple things off the top of my head-
- If the gateway is in trial mode, you won’t be able to log in
- ensure the project has a default authentication profile (if you look in the gateway status page you should probably see an error message of the log in attempt)
Take a look and see how this piece is configured.
Vision security
OK, that explains it, I am in trial mode. Is there a way to see what a project would look like in runtime prior to licensing?
Appreciate your assistance with this
You can reset the timer as many times as you need through the gateway. After that you can launch your project. There will be a banner at the top saying how much time is left before you have to reset it again.
Did you create a user source that your project is attached to, but not create an users yet? I’ve seen that one before.
Thanks for the response, but that is where I started. When attempting to launch the vision client I was requested to login and I cannot with any credentials that I am familiar with
I do not understand what a user source is
There are only default user sources - default and opcua
Thank you. The solution was the security setting in the user source - I reset it to “default” and now it works.
I highly recommend taking the courses at Browse the Lesson Library at Inductive University
The user source is a project property - it tells your project what source of users to validate the login against.
In my picture, you see there’s tabUsers selected as my data source. So when a user tries to log into the project, the username/password will be compared to the tabUsers datasource, whether thats a database table or active directory etc.
