Client Launching Properties |
|
These properties apply to the Vision Client launch process.
Launch Icon This image will be used to represent the project on the launch page and desktop shortcut. This needs to be a path to an image that has been uploaded to the Gateway. Use the browse button to choose or upload a new image. Gateway Launch Page The default launch mode determines what kind of launch occurs when the user hits the "Launch" button that appears next to the project in the Gateway home page. Each launch mode can also be enabled individually, which will turn the launch button into a split-button, allowing the user to choose the launch mode. The project can also be hidden from the launch page, which is often useful for projects that are still under development. These projects can still be launched from the Designer's Tools > Launch menu. Java Web Start Properties These properties affect how the launched project will appear when launched through one of the Java Web Start launch modes: WIndowed or Full Screen. The Vendor and Homepage properties will be displayed in the Java Application Manager, which you can find through the Java Control Panel on a Windows computer. The start maximized button will make the application start in a maximized window. Note that this is not the same thing as full-screen mode, which is only available when the client is launched in full-screen mode. In full-screen mode, the width, height, and start maximized properties have no effect. When launched in full-screen mode, the user will be given an "Exit" button on the login screen by default. For terminals where the application should not be exited, this button can be removed by checking the "Hide Exit Button" checkbox. Applet Properties These properties affect how the project appears when launched as a browser applet. Client Memory These properties govern how the client uses RAM resources on its host machine. The initial memory setting is how much memory the client will require on startup. While this is typically left alone, boosting it a bit can improve performance somewhat. The maximum memory setting sets a cap on how much memory the Java VM is allowed to use. This setting can be important for clients that require very large charts, tables and reports. Even if you have launched a client on a machine with plenty of RAM, you'll also need to boost this setting to allow the client to use more RAM.
