5. Enjoy simple and intuitive Smart Client navigation, tailored to meet your organization’s
needs.
Troubleshooting
If your HTML navigation page does not work as intended, consider the following:
• Have you used the correct syntax in your HTML?
• Have you selected Enable HTML Scripting after importing the HTML page?
• Does the intended audience have the rights to required benefit from the HTML navigation
page? Bear in mind that depending on their user rights, some users may not have access
to certain cameras, views, features or tabs in their Smart Clients.
Smart Client Scripting
For advanced users it is possible to create function calls in the Smart Client. Note that the use of
scripting will require some familiarity with programming.
Viewing a List of Possible Function Calls
To view a list of the approximately 100 different function calls you are able to use in the Smart
Client, do the following on the Smart Client’s Setup tab:
1. Drag the System Overview section’s HTML Page link to a position in a view. When you
release the mouse button over the required position, the Open URL window opens.
Tip: Preferably use a 1×1 view; this will give you the best possible overview of the
list’s content.
2. In the Open URL window’s Open field, type
about:script and click OK. This will display the list of
function calls.
Each function call will be listed with a short description
of its purpose; and you will be able to try out many of
the function calls straight from the list.
Startup Scripting
It is possible to use scripting to control parts or all of the Smart Client login procedure. Examples:
• If using the authentication methods Basic authentication or Windows authentication, you
can make the Smart Client login dialog open with pre-filled Server address and User name
fields, in which case the user merely has to enter a password in order to log in.
• If using the authentication method Windows authentication (current user), you can make
the Smart Client connect to the surveillance system automatically, based on the user’s
current Windows login.
Note: Some authentication methods are only available if the Smart Client user logs in to certain
Milestone surveillance systems; see Surveillance System Differences on page 100 for more
information.
