Responsive Graphic View

Is there a way to make graphical views for mobile devices like android? I need to create some responsive pages for smartphones. Thanks

Hi @nex2000,
This means you can configure it on your computer and then simply display the configured screen to the user on your phone... then the graphical view would have to be adapted to the mobile device, I think it is possible but it may require some effort.

I'm only referring to the visualization, the graphic views are always created with a PC, but whoever sees them has a smartphone. Thanks a lot Paul

This is a good discussion and comes up frequently in the Brazilian community. What we've understood is that some level of responsiveness is desired so that, for example, graphic representations created for 1920x1080 can adapt to other resolutions while maintaining the aspect ratio. Perhaps the new UI's synoptic panel can better address this, since it uses .svg for construction.

However, when a mobile interface is desired, I believe conventional solutions aren't very easily applicable. It's possible to open a PC screen on a mobile device and zoom in with your fingers, but all commercial SCADA systems with mobile solutions usually have a new area for creating more summarized screens that look more like dashboards than synoptic displays. For full responsiveness, modularity is necessary, and a synoptic screen isn't usually like that. Solutions like Grafana, which are fully modular, break lines by moving elements from line 1 to line 2 when the screen width is too narrow. Achieving responsiveness simply by adjusting the zoom according to the screen width doesn't work for mobile.

Currently, what I've seen are mobile solutions integrated with Scada-LTS, some like Grafana, Node-red dashboard, Blynk app, and some low-code and no-code app builders along the lines of vibe coding, like Flutterflow, among others. I've also seen some users create screens in Scada-LTS with a 350px width focused on mobile and create a mobile-only user who has these narrower screens as favorites and links in a new navigation menu. This might be the easiest path for now, but it would be excellent to have something more responsive in the future, even if it's just for PC clients.

Yes, this should be the result: displaying the graphical view on any device. Obviously, not all graphical views can be viewed on mobile devices; there are some very complex views that don't allow it. But within the same application, it should be possible to create even partial views that adapt to each device. The approach of using external apps like NodeRed, ThingsBoard, Fuxa, or others isn't a good one, both for security reasons and for data update timing, so having something integrated would be fantastic, even compared to other systems that already offer this performance.
