3.11. DataHub WebView

DataHub WebView is a real-time data visualization tool.

[Important]

This section covers configuration parameters for the WebView application. For information about WebView and how to use it, please refer to the DataHub WebView manual.

All current domains

This option initializes all DataHub data domains when the WebView application starts. This is helpful in Design mode for selecting data points to bind to controls, by using auto-fill-in.

Only these domains

This option initializes all points in the selected domains when the WebView application starts. Data points in the unchecked domains will be loaded only when requested by a WebView client. Unchecking domains that contain large numbers of points can significantly improve page load times for users during Run mode.

Start in Run mode

Allows you to start in Run mode, rather than Design mode, with these options:

Kiosk mode

Presents just the working screen of the web browser, with no border, menus, URL entry field, etc. To escape from Kiosk mode (and close the browser), press Alt + F4.

Disable Design mode

Prohibits any switch from Run mode to Design mode, whether running in Kiosk mode or normally.

Disable data writes from client

Prevents the web client from accessing DataHub point values.

Show page information icon

Shows or hides the page information icon.

Load a page at startup

Allows you to specify a page that will automatically load when the WebView application starts.

Use a custom branding folder

Allows you to specify a folder for holding custom branding information. For details, please refer to Customizing.

Launch WebView in a browser

Provides a convenient way to start the WebView application to check this configuration.

[Important]

The WebView application requires the DataHub instance to be configured as a tunnelling master. Please refer to Tunnel/Mirror Master in the Cogent DataHub manual for details.
