1. In setup mode, select the imported HTML page in the view. In the Properties pane, change
the necessary properties.
o URL: Click New to specify a new URL or location of the HTML page.
o Scaling: Select the scaling of the HTML page. The optimal scaling depends entirely on the
content of the imported HTML page and how you want to display it.
As a rule, with a high scaling value, e.g. 1280×1024, text on the HTML page will appear
relatively small, and a considerable amount of content will be visible without the need for
scrolling. With a low scaling value, e.g. 320×200, text on the HTML page will appear
relatively large, and a relatively small amount of content can be displayed without the need
for scrolling.
o Enable HTML scripting: Only select this feature if the HTML page is a custom-made
HTML page for navigating or triggering features inside the XProtect Smart Client itself (see
examples of custom-made HTML pages in Use an HTML Page for Navigation (on page
105)).
If selected, a client script required for navigating and controlling a number of features
inside the XProtect Smart Client will be added to the HTML page. For HTML pages which
are not going to be used for such purposes, the client script cannot be used, and may even
cause the HTML page to malfunction.
o Hide toolbar: By default, a simple navigation bar is inserted above each imported HTML
page. The navigation bar has four buttons; from left to right the buttons are Back,
Forward, Refresh and Home:
If you do not want the navigation bar, you can hide it by selecting Hide toolbar.
When an imported HTML page contains links, we recommend that the links have the
target='blank' attribute (example: target="blank">Link). This makes the links open in separate windows, which will help you
avoid losing view of the XProtect Smart Client window when a link opens a web page in the same
browser as the XProtect Smart Client .

Static images can be used in views for company logos, for including photos of wanted persons, and so
