Configuration of the Information List - Desktop UI /Mobile UIs

The items shown in the information list in the Desktop UI and in Mobile UIs can be changed in the bundled file <buildstructure>/data/webClient/infoListConfig.json. (For further information on the buildstructure see Product packaging). This file specifies the items of the information list.

infoListConfig.json is a JSON file that contains an array of items. The items are displayed in the information list in the order defined in the JSON file.

Each item must contain the following mandatory fields:

Field Meaning
"label"

Label strings for the item as these are displayed to the user.

A JSON object that contains one field per language.

"action" Defines the action to execute when you click or tap on this item. The following values can be used:

"openUrl": opens a URL in the default browser. If this action is used, use an additional field "url" to specify the URL to open. For example: "url": "https://w3.siemens.com/mcms/human-machine-interface/de/visualisierungssoftware/simatic-wincc-open-architecture/seiten/default.aspx".

URLs starting with "mailto:" can be used to open a pre-configured mail using the standard mail program. For example: "url": "mailto:wincc_oa_pm.at@siemens.com".

"showFile": shows the content of a file in the information area of the Desktop UI. For this action, use an additional field "filename" to specify the name of the file to display. This is normally used to display one of the following HTML files:
