I was wondering if there is a list of all the keyboard shortcut keys. Over the years I have found that learning the shortcut keys will save you a lot of time in the long run so I am a big fan. In particular right now I am working in the Idea Studio and in other programs you might use "Ctrl-G" to group the selected objects or "Ctrl-U" to ungroup them. Another might be "Alt-Down Arrow" to evenly s

What does it mean what a trend says data retrieval in progress? Everything works fine at first, but when I look at the trends after my project has been running a while none show data and say "Data Retrieval in Progress".
I have recently downloaded and installed VT SCADA on my desktop. We are about to purchase the full version and I want to do some training and testing at my desk. I have installed in on two other computers and it works fine. But for some reason on my desktop it shows the start splash screen and then just shuts down and closes before it actuals starts the program. The desktop is fairly new and
SiteDraw outer ring turns red over things like;
Socket Connection Not Ready
Socket ID is not valid
Unknown Socket Error
Which if I understand these things will generate a retry because these are TCP port devices.
How can I get these to be less scary to the end user.
I tried explaining the function of the outer ring and why it turns red, but to no avail.

First person - gets alarm, does not Ack.
Second person - gets alarm, does not Ack.

Second person wakes up - ACK's the alarm, does not get an answer.

Hello.
I have tried to make my own custom Alarm page setup.
When I am using just a few settings like this, it works.
But I need all the features, but with custom columns.
It looks OK, but none of the alarms/history is showing. Have a broken the link to the Alarm database?

Hello.
Why does this happen?
I make a numeric entry in a Widget.
Looks like this.
And I have made a PNG which I will overlay. Moving the PNG on top of the numeric entry. Looks exactly how I want it.
If I use this Widget on a page, this happens in runtime.
The digits just move to the left, messing up the design.
If I look at the page in Idea Studio,

How do I enable the permissions so I can update the value of the system tag "MobileBrowserAutoRefreshPeriod"? I can see it in the advanced view of the system properties but it is greyed out.
Any hints on when/what's coming to VTSCADA for a fully integrated VOIP alarm dialer? It will be so exciting to have an alternative voice option to the hardware voice modems!

Hello, Vt-Team.
My question is as following.
I have 3 subsites on one server.
demo.example.com
scada.example.com
somethingelse.example.com
I want IIS to serve the content for
demo.example.com
somethingelse.example.com
and I want VT-SCADA to serve content for
scada.example.com
Is it possible?
Can you create events for demo purposes in lieu of having inputs?
The pump activity report gives insane results if there is any gap in the historian. Such as the gap that happens when the power is lost to the server.
We suddenly lost the ability to acknowledge alarms on our system and we are not sure why. We have stopped/started the software and that has not helped. We have also notice a slight delay in receiving some of our alarms. Any suggestions?
Hi.
We are testing this scada system.
It's really nice.
We have made an application with 20 tags, and we want to have access to it from an external network through the vpn solution, is it possible?
When we try to connect using the get from workstation option and setting the ip for vpn we get an unavailable workstation message.
Someone knows how we can connect

Tank level located at DB45.4 its a real (float) address and a Boolean address of say DB45.DBX1.4 I have tried multiple ways but I keep getting a 256 error saying bad address. Maybe an integer to like DB6.INT46. I read the help file and tried the 3 differnt ways but kept saying wrong 256

I have a String Entry connected to a String I/O tag.
The value of the String I/O is now my name. If I click it, it becomes editable.
But I want it to be locked, uneditable and unselectable. I can toggle Enable Output on the String I/O, this prevents editing. But the blinking dash is still there.

How is the video support in VTScada, can't find any good info in neither Developers Guide or Programmers guide.
I am using EmbedWebpage.SRC https://pastebin.com/4Pcvebxu
As example, Youtube works OK, but with a lot of lag. The video format that VTScada is able to show, is WebM - I have not been able to play any other formats.
What I'd really like to do, is to implement a browser

I want to use the values from scaling on a tag - in an expression.

or rather something like this:
[*Numeric\"Scaled Min"] / 20 * 5
This is not working. Gives an error.

Hello.
I think there is some bug related to the Selector Switches. I have spent countless hours on this, and by accident found a way to make it work. Meaning this must be some bug.
If I make more than a couple Selector Switches, the next one appear with no data. Like 40310 below. I have the exact same settings, because I copy the working Switch. I only change the adress.
