iTX SmartClient
Operator Guide
Resting your mouse pointer over a button shows when the associated level is available: a
white border appears around the button.
Automatic Opening of a Workspace and Loading of a Video Clip by URL
SmartClient can open a workspace and load a video clip in it on receiving a valid URL from a
traffic system or similar third-party application. This is mainly for use in systems in which
the third-party application connects to iTX via iTX Interchange.
The URL needs to specify the required workspace and the unique ID (AssetUid) of the video
clip. It can take one of two forms depending on whether or not the asset ID is encoded or
not:
1 http://{host}:{port}/#{workspace}={AssetUid}
Example: http://svr123:81/#browse=newsfeed
2 http://{host}:{port}/#{workspace}={encodedAssetUid}
Example: http://svr123:81/#browse=SVRYMjNTUDNfMV8xNjU1Ng~~
The asset ID, plain or encoded, is passed to the third-party application by iTX Interchange.
SmartClient displays workspace and video clip if the application has the required access
rights.
Job Monitoring
A Dashboard may contain features for working with jobs in an iTX Workflow system:
• A Jobs widget displays buttons that represent job types you have access rights for.
Clicking a button calls up the workspace for the associated job type.
• A Jobs Query widget displays a detailed list of jobs of a particular job type or workflow
status. This is for viewing only.
System Administration
If you are a system administrator, you can configure metadata types, schemas, templates,
alternates, search-menu filters and job types in the Administrator workspace. You call up
this workspace by clicking a selection button on an administrator Dashboard.
Use of this workspace is covered in the SmartClient Administrator Guide we mentioned at
the beginning of this section.
Entering Information in SmartClient
SmartClient displays a number of common user-interface features for you to use when
entering information. Examples are:
• Text boxes, in which you can type text, including numbers.
• Drop-down lists, from which you can select an entry.
• Check boxes, for switching options on or off.
