 +  Question: Is it possible to make a responsive visualizatoin with WebHMI? 
 +
 +Starting from 3.6 version and [[screens?s[]=screens#screens|screens]] it is possible to make responsive visualization with WebHMI.
 +
 +Please follow the screen documentaion page to make an idea of its possibiliies. 
 +
 +E.g. if your screen looks like this one on the desktop large monitor:
 +{{ network:hvac_full_screen.png?direct&800 |}}
 +
 +then on the mobile device it will fold in into these:
 +
 +{{ network:widget_swipe_hvac.gif }}
 +
 +If you want your widgets with dashboard to take all available space of the widget, set his option: 
 +
 +{{ network:panel_contained_option_red_box.png?direct&600 |}}
 +
 +Other project parts like graphs etc. will also adjust their size:
 +
 +{{ network:graph_mobile_view.png?direct&400 |}}

 +<WRAP center round tip 100%> 
 +The register values in the WebHMI are colourized using this rule - it is either default value color, or the color defined in the register [[registers?s[]=state#states_tab|STATE]]. There is a default register value style which overrides text widget styles for values.  
 +So, to make your register value of a desired colour, set a STATE for the register with the colour you want.

 + 
 +===== Performance issues ===== 
 +==== My WebHMI is slow ==== 
 +There are many reasons why your device may slow down, a "disable function & try" method should be applied to detect the source of this problem.  
 + 
 +Below a summary of the possible causes is provided: 
 + 
 +== Screens / Dashboards == 
 + 
 +  * Use screens wherever is possible for visualisation,  and use dashboards as a part of screens for graphic part, which can not be done with the screens. 
 +  * Avoid using bulky DASHBOARDS (too rich in elements, having heavy-weight pictures , trends with long time window etc. ) , normal dashboard is about tens of KB, not MB! 
 +  * Set appropriate refresh time in the settings. 
 +  * Keep the number of open tabs minimal for the current sessions. If you need multiple tabs, use auto-close session checkbox to prevent unattended access. 
 + 
 +=== Scripts === 
 + 
 +  *Avoid using many scripts (like dashboards scripts or upon change value scripts). The better way is using a few big scripts or scripts with libraries  instead of a lot of small scripts (each script takes some os environment) 
 +  *Run scripts upon changing value, minimize the number of scripts, running in each scan 
 +  *Minimize "WriteReg" Lua instructions in each scan.  It is better to use wrapping function UpdReg(), which writes to register only if value has changed. 
 + 
 +=== Communication ===  
 +  *Group register to read on external device and use group reading. 
 +  *Decrease timeout and tries in external connections  if it possible. Use auto-drop&try for not available connections. 
 +  *Organize and set different reading periods for variables. 
 +  *Keep the actual T1 time less than system scan set in the settings. this will give more "room" for OS' background processes. 
 + 
 +=== Writing to log ===  
 +  *Minimize logging many registers to DB, 
 +  *Set appropriate log speed for the registers.check you don't have many events logged each scan.
  
 +=== Development process ===
 +  *Keep the number of registers in the project below 2-3K
 +  *During development, keep track of the Load Average parameter it should be below 1  (but can have short bursts above this value, which ought to fall soon)
 +  *Avoid making simultaneous changes at once, like turning OFF-ON many regs, connection, scripts etc. Use save & apply feature of the latest fw. (apply all changes at once, instead of creating a queue for changes..)
 +  *In the comm. log, you can set TRACE level and see what times each operation takes (each connection, script, communication with device etc.), checking timestamps
