Scaling Buttons

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

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

Assist App, shrinked display for better overview

Use right button to expand the console to the maximum available height on your screen and make control of elements more easy and accessible.

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

Basic URL parameters

Important
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 login 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

Assist App requires a recent Browser. Please see System Requirements for DHD Software for a list of tested browsers.
