WebClient
The WebClient enables you to monitor and manage components, versions, and jobs on the octoplant server. This offers you a convenient, streamlined alternative when you do not require the advanced functionality of the UserClient.
You can also download versions of the components to your local computer, but without the option to upload them back to the server.
- Updating the view
Do not use the Browser refresh button or F5 key to update the view. This can lead to an unintended logout and loss of changes. Instead, select a different component in the Project tree and then reselect the updated component.
The user interface
The WebClient interface contains the two areas:
-
Project tree
The Project tree maps the octoplant component structure similar to the file manager.
-
Component overview
If a component is selected, details about the component are displayed here.
-
Change history
Available versions of the selected component
-
Jobs
Available jobs and job results for this component
-
Details
Component ID and component type ID
Master data of the selected component
-
The four tiles in the upper part of the component overview display at a glance:
-
A summary of the component state (if Check-In is possible, the edit state and the time of Check-In). During Check-In, changes that are made locally are copied to the octoplant server.
A Check-In is only possible if the component is first checked out. The same applies to the edit state: The contents of a component can only be edited if the component is available locally, i.e. has been checked out. Components cannot be checked-in via the WebClient, only via the UserClient.
-
The number of the latest local version
It is possible to create a local version in the UserClient, that is not checked-in to the server. This is why the local version can differ from the latest version on the server.
-
The number of the latest version on the server
- The comparison results of the last job execution
