Configuration of the Multi Client
The Multi Client has its own project
The server data is loaded on the Multi Client
The view of the different servers is based on a
new property: the server prefix ServerName::TagName
The system automatically transfers the server prefix to
scripts, controls, pictures on the Multi Client

Limitations of the Web Client
When transferring the comprehensive WinCC Runtime
functionality to the minimum web client execution
environment, there are some limitations:




No logs (log output on the web client is not supported)
No online configuration of server projects
No user archives
No global scripts
Project and global functions must be present on the local system:
this is of course not possible with a Web client. As a result, these
functions are not executed on the Web client.
The system does support event-triggered scripts (e.g. on mouse
click) in pictures and on objects.
 Referenced graphics (e.g. bitmaps) on buttons, graphic objects etc.
are not displayed
 No full PCS7 support, e.g. navigation through pictures
