The iFIX WorkSpace has several run-time preferences, which include:
- Saving your open documents automatically when you switch to the run-time environment. Using this feature, you can toggle between the two environments without worrying about saving your changes. By default, this option is disabled. If you enable it and you want to test a change to a picture or schedule without saving the modification, you must disable the preference before switching to the run-time environment. If you do not, the WorkSpace automatically saves the change.
- Displaying the iFIX WorkSpace full-screen. This feature provides maximum screen space for creating and displaying pictures. When you display the WorkSpace full-screen, it hides its menu bar, system tree, and any docked toolbars. Floating toolbars remain visible.
- Opening specific pictures automatically when the iFIX WorkSpace starts in the run-time environment. Use this option to define the specific files you want to open automatically for your operators.
- Opening specific schedules you want to open in the background. Use this option to indicate the specific files you want the FixBackgroundServer task to load on start-up.
