Scaling Buttons​

The scaling buttons can help fitting the console to individual screens for better overview or control.

Use left Shrink button to display the whole console width on your screen and get a better overview of the whole console.

You can use the browser's integrated zoom. This will inactivate the scaling buttons and result in Browser zoom is active, Console-Zoom deactivated message. Use them to restore correct fit again.

Basic URL parameters​

warning

URL parameters are in ongoing development and may be subject to change in later versions without notice.

Open a View directly​

View URLs follow always the same scheme:

http://[Core-IP]/#/views/[ModuleID]

Example:

http://10.5.12.123/#/views/5

You can use this URL scheme to call a view directly.

Stand-alone Mode​

You can open a view without the menu frame for stand-alone solutions, e.g. an info display or door panel. Usage:

http://[Core-IP]/#/views/[ModuleID]?standalone=1

Use this call only in an empty tab or browser window.

Automatic login with user token​

You can log in a user directly, e.g. for stand-alone solutions using his user token. See Toolbox setup & user management.

Combining multiple arguments​

You can combine multiple arguments. Use & to separate them. Example:

http://[Core-IP]/#/views/[ModuleID]?standalone=1&token=1234-1234-1234
