Milestone Smart Client 3.6 - Manual (Page 33)

Milestone XProtect Smart Client 3.6; User’s Manual
The illustration to the right provides an example of a
company web page inserted into a view.
Tip: When an imported HTML page contains links,
it is highly recommended that the links have the
target=‘blank’ attribute (example: <a
href="otherwebpage.htm" target="blank">Link</a>).
This will make the links open in separate windows,
which will help you avoid losing view of the Smart
Client window itself due to a link opening a web page
in the same browser window as the Smart Client.
To add an HTML page to a view, do the following on
the Setup tab:
1. Drag the System Overview section’s HTML Page link to the required position in the view.
When you release the mouse button over the required position, the Open URL window
opens.
2. In the Open URL window’s Open field, type the URL of
the required HTML page (example:
http://www.mywebsite.com/mywebpage.htm).
- or -
If the HTML page is stored locally on your computer, specify its location on your computer
(example: C:\myfiles\mywebpage.htm), or click the Browse... button to browse for the
required HTML page.
3. Click the OK button.
Changing the Properties of an HTML Page
Once an HTML page is added to a view, you are able to change its properties by doing the
following:
1. On the Setup tab, select the imported HTML page in the view. Properties of the selected
HTML page will appear in the Setup tab’s Properties section.
2. Change the required property:
• Url: Click the New button to specify a n
URL or location of the required HTML
page.

• Scaling: Select the required scaling of t
HTML page. The optimal scaling depe
entirely on the content of the imported
HTML page and how you want to display
it.
As a rule of thumb, with a high scaling value, e.g. 1280×1024, text on the HTML
page will appear relatively small, and a considerable amount of content will be
visible without the need for scrolling. With a low scaling value, e.g. 320×200, text
on the HTML page will appear relatively large, and a relatively small amount of
content can be displayed without the need for scrolling.
