Environment

- Building Operation Automation Server Premium
- Building Operation Automation Server Bundled
- Building Operation Workstation
Cause
While more complex workspaces can be created a kiosk or graphic page style interface could be the perfect workspace for the occasional user or touch screen style kiosk in a communal area.
Resolution
To create a workspace of this style it is important to use the Work Area Window instead of a Graphic pane since the Graphic pane will not fill the window area and has to be linked to a side of the workspace area.
- Open the StruxureWare Control Panel
- Select Account Management
- Click Add under Workspaces
- Specify the name of the Workspace ("Kiosk" for example)
- Click Next
- Click Add in the Content Window
- Highlight Work Area Window and click Next
- Specify your initial path to be the default graphic you want to be presented such as a home page.
- Click Create
- Define what user interface options you want to restrict such as the history bar, toolbar, or address bar (Address bar for example can allow access to other parts of the database unless you restrict it with access rights or user permissions)
- Click Create
- Select your newly created workspace from the drop down menu and select User Account groups
- Add the user account group you want to use this workspace to the right hand column.
The graphic page only workspace should now be accessible or configured as the default workspace for a user both in Building Operation Workstation or Webstation.
