System administrator's check list

To create and distribute navigation HTML pages to XProtect Smart Client operators, do the following:

  1. Create the required HTML page. The navigation controls in the HTML page must match the views users see in the XProtect Smart Client. For example, in order for a button leading to View1 to work, a view called View1 must exist in users' XProtect Smart Client installations. If you intend to distribute the HTML page to a group of users, the views in which the HTML page will be used should be placed in shared groups.

  2. Save the HTML page locally on each computer on which it will be used. When saving the HTML page locally, save it at a location to which an unambiguous path can be defined, for example in a folder on the user's C: drive (example: C:\myfolder\file.htm). Saving the HTML page on the user's desktop or in the user's My Documents folder will not work properly due to the way Windows constructs the path to such locations.

  3. Import the HTML page into the required views in XProtect Smart Client. See Add a web page to a view.

  4. Test that the navigation controls on the imported HTML page work as intended.
