RE: FTOptix Object Alignment

Yep, I have used them, but was wondering if there was a center, so I would not have to move the objects back to where I wanted them. They have all the others, just not center. I am sure there is a reason, just seems weird to me not to have it. @asemlucben do you know if this is a future item or the ...

This may be a dumb question is there a way to align Object via center? I see the Left, Top, Right, and Botton in the toolbar but no Center. I use this a lot to align text and boxes, etc. I may be missing something simple and will feel stupid if I am, but do not see anything. EDIT: fixed a typo ...

Alright I have something weird going on, and it may just be me as I have been staring and trying different combinations for too long now. I am trying to change a button color based on some advanced logic and key value converter as seen below. The KVC is set up for gray on 0 and yellow on 1. If I take ...

Thank you, the vacation was great, now back at it. I got it to work. I think it was a combination of a few items, but your example app was just what I needed. Thanks for that.

Alright switched to the following and the Native works as should even logging in and out of other users. However, the Web does not auto log in any one or any manual login again does not work. It's weird, but thanks for trying to guide me the correct way. Below is a screen shot of how it currently is. ...

I switched to the first pic below and nothing worked then. The second pic I went back to the original and all works with the Native like it should including logging in of other users. When I use the first one I can not even log in with other users as it gives me an authentication failed. ...

Thanks that was a simple fix, thanks. That leads me to ask this question....Is there a way to auto Login someone based on the session web or local? The reason I ask is because for instance if I am in the web session and log in as admin, I get access to all, but when it times out and logs me out it ...

@AutomateSHANE back to this a little as we are expanding the application capabilities. I have added a web engine and use a "WebUser" as the default login if they access via a browser. I have used that login to disable some navigation, buttons, etc. And all that works great. However, because of the above ...

In the end you still have to manage the users no matter which method you go with and because we do not have many users, I think it's simpler with one Stratix that covers all. Actually, we will have two, one for one side of the plant and one for the other side. I have implemented groups now and give access ...

Thank you @Luca Begnini that was very clear and easy to understand. I agree that a Stratix 4300 for every controller could be a solution but a little-bit overkill. I knew there had to be a way. I have tested your method, and it works as I would expect thanks again. ------------------------------ Scott ...

That is what I was hoping after adding a sub device I would get a permissions panel, but unfortunately you don't. In the below example I created the "Kent" device under our Stratix and gave it an IP Address. (PLC IP) As you can see all I get is the device info and services. To me this would be the easiest ...

So let me see if I understand this. We have one Stratix 4300 that can access Multiple machines. From what I think I understand I cannot lock out per machine? (basically, per IP Address) We want vendor 1 to only access their machine and vendor 2 there's all from the same Stratix 4300. I can access all ...
