Panels Do Not Pop Up in Lookout Web Client Primary Software: LookoutPrimary Software Version: 5.1 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software:
Problem: I developed a Lookout process that pops up certain panels based on which button on the main panel is clicked. I created a remote connection between the button and the panel's Activate data member. This works fine in the Lookout Development environment. I also publish the process to the LabVIEW web server as an htm file. When I run the process on a computer that has only the Lookout Web Client installed, using Internet Explorer, certain panels do not pop up when I click on their respective buttons on the main panel. This, however, works fine on the development version of Lookout. Also, I can run the process fine on the Lookout Web Client on computers that also have Lookout Development installed. Why is there such a disparity? Do I need to have Lookout Development installed along with Lookout Web Client for this to always work? How come only certain panels pop up, while other do not? Solution: The reason you are seeing this behavior is because you have security settings implemented in your Lookout objects. If you have Security Levels specified for your panel objects, you need to make sure that the client computer also has the same security access. Right-click on the panel objects in the Object Explorer in Lookout Development. Click on Properties and check the Security Levels. The client computer must have the proper security file (.sec), otherwise the Web Client does not know which user logged in and the permissions associated with that user. You can change all the security levels to 0. But the proper way of implementing a successful client is to transfer the security file (.sec) to the client computer. This contains all the usernames and their respective security access. Check out the link below for details on what all should be considered when dealing with a client.
