The embedder symbol allows to seamlessly incorporate external content, allowing you to display and interact with content from another source directly within your PI Vision environment. This symbol essentially creates a cohesive experience by bringing in external content as if it were a natural part of PI Vision. Many customers use this symbol to seamlessly embed content from e.g.:
Microsoft Power BI
Microsoft Sharepoint
MES System
LIMS System
FrameSrcPolicy
Before the control can be used, the FrameSrcPolicy must be adjusted in the web.config on the PI Vision server. Otherwise no foreign pages can be embedded!
<add key="FrameSrcPolicy" value="seeqserver werusys.de" />
Starting the Control
To start the control click on the “Assets” button in the upper left corner of the PI Vision display.
In the upper part select “weruEmbedder” by clicking on it.
Afterwards an arbitrary attribute from the asset tree could be added to the display via drag and drop. The Embedder control appears on the display and can be used.
Configuration
With a right click on the control in the upper area there is the possibility to press "Configure". Thereby the configuration tile appears.
There, the desired website including protocol can be specified.
Modern browsers prevent the embedding of unencrypted http pages within encrypted https pages.
As a result, it is not possible to specify unencrypted pages there!
Removing the Control
Before removing the control it is necessary to switch into edit mode (Icon in the upper right corner). Thereafter it is possible to click on the control and press the delete key to remove the control.
