QuickHMI Change log

Planned functions *

• Optimising usability and stability QuickHMI is being continuously optimised to make it even more user-friendly and to further improve its stability in day-to-day use.
• Server-side script execution In QuickHMI, scripts have so far been executed exclusively on the client side, i.e. in the user’s browser or app. This approach has its limitations: no script runs unless a visualisation is open, and if there are multiple clients, the same logic is executed multiple times in parallel. It is therefore planned to allow scripts to be executed directly on the QuickHMI server if desired. They will then run exactly once, regardless of whether anyone currently has the visualisation open, and will operate directly on the server’s data. This allows central tasks such as calculations, monitoring or recurring processes to be neatly separated from the user interface.
• Secure Modbus QuickHMI already offers comprehensive support for Modbus, both as a master via TCP, UDP, RTU, RTU over TCP and ASCII, and as a slave. Support for Modbus/TCP Security is planned as an additional option: TLS-encrypted connections with X.509 certificates for environments with heightened security requirements. Existing Modbus connections will remain fully functional.

Lynx v14.15.1 (TBD - Known bugs and upcoming features)

• Data publishing via MQTT and OPC UA PubSub. Variable values can now also be provided via MQTT and as OPC UA PubSub messages; previously, this was only possible via OPC UA. With PubSub, no one connects to QuickHMI: data is sent cyclically at the set interval, each time including the quality and timestamp of the value.
• Data publishing is managed centrally in the project settings. For each channel (OPC UA Server, MQTT, OPC UA PubSub), there is now a table listing all data sources, showing read/write permissions, scope and the number of variables provided. The data source defines the default settings, but individual variables can be excluded via a detailed selection. A button applies the selected settings to the other active channels.
• Scope of data publishing. For each data source and method, you can choose whether to provide all variables or only those that are actually used in the project. This means that authorising access no longer necessarily includes all variables in the read cycle.

• List of variables: internal variables. The initial value, value, quality and timestamp for internal variables now display a placeholder instead of an empty cell.

• Variable address when moving and duplicating. A variable used to lose its address and data type when it was moved to or duplicated in another data source; in S7, it was then set to DB1.S0.254. The address is now retained as long as the new data source uses the same address format, and is only reset in the event of an actual change to the address format.
• Undo after multiple changes to the same element. If the same element was changed multiple times within a single operation – for example, a tick was added and then removed – the ‘Undo’ function would restore an intermediate state rather than the original state. Operations that have no effect are now no longer recorded in the history at all.
• Variablenliste im Text-Modus. Zeilen aus einer älteren Version werden jetzt erkannt und abgelehnt, statt still die Alarmklasse zu verlieren. Die Meldung bei einer unvollständigen Zeile und die Feldliste im Kopf nennen wieder die richtigen Felder.
• Live view of variables after restarting the runtime. The live view did not always reflect the current variable settings because the editor remained logged in after restarting the runtime. The editor now logs out immediately when the connection is lost, waiting no more than two seconds for the server.
• The hourglass cursor remained on screen. If two processes that ran for a longer period overlapped, the waiting cursor remained on screen even after they had finished.
• Dark theme: focused checkboxes. In the dark theme, an empty checkbox looked as if it were ticked as soon as it had focus.
• User Rights: For some controls, it was possible to change values once even without the necessary user permissions.

• Important (change in behaviour): Newly created data sources and variables are no longer automatically enabled for data provision. A new data source starts without being enabled, and a new variable starts without its own settings and follows the rules of its data source; previously, both inherited read and write permissions when a path was active. Existing projects automatically retain their previous permissions when first opened.

Lynx v14.14.2 (2026-08-04)

• A problem has been fixed whereby, under certain circumstances, the properties list in the components window could no longer be scrolled correctly.

Lynx v14.14.1 (2026-08-04)

• MQTT via WebSocket. MQTT data sources now support WebSocket and Secure WebSocket as transport protocols (in addition to TCP and TLS), available from the Ultimate Edition onwards.
• Duplicate variables. The copy inherits all the settings from the original variable and is automatically given a unique name.
• Placing multiple variables at once. You can now drag several selected variables from the Variables window onto the page in a single action; the controls will be arranged one below the other.
• Align in the context menu, now called “Distribute evenly”. Aligning controls is now also available via the context menu. With “Distribute evenly”, the outer elements remain fixed and those in between are distributed evenly.
• Quick-Edit by double-clicking or pressing Enter. Double-clicking or pressing Enter on a control directly focuses on its Text or Value property and highlights the content (Text before Value). F2 is used to rename it.
• Undo/Redo history with multi-step navigation. The ‘Undo’ and ‘Redo’ buttons now feature a drop-down list of recent actions; selecting an entry allows you to undo or redo several steps at once.
• Previews and faceplate icons in ControlManager. A preview is displayed when you hover over an entry; faceplates now also have their own icon.
• Open the manager by double-clicking. Double-clicking a heading in the Toolbox opens the corresponding manager directly.
• Forum button in the status bar. A new button in the status bar takes you directly to the QuickHMI forum.
• Guided tours of the editor. The first time you open a project, a welcome tour guides you through the most important areas of the editor; you can hide it permanently or restart it at any time. There are also dedicated tours for the SVG Control Manager, the Faceplate Inspector, script definition and script assignment.
• OPC UA PubSub as a data source. QuickHMI now also receives OPC UA PubSub messages, either directly via UDP (unicast, multicast or broadcast) or via an MQTT broker (message format UADP or JSON). Signed and encrypted messages are supported; for the broker, either login credentials or a certificate can be used. Available from the Ultimate Edition onwards.
• Assign headers and footers from a central location. Using the new ‘Assign’ property for a header or footer, you can specify in a list of all pages which ones use it; if desired, this can be done for all pages at once. The property also shows on how many pages the header or footer is already in use; pages with a different assignment are flagged before they are overwritten.
• Custom certificates for web service and InfluxDB connections. Until now, encrypted connections to web services and InfluxDB only accepted certificates that Java trusts by default; this meant that remote systems with a self-signed or company-specific certificate could not be used. Both now use the central certificate store, just like OPC UA and MQTT: an unknown certificate is stored under ‘Rejected’ and can be approved from there.
• Open certificates directly from the project settings. In the security section of the OPC UA server, a new button takes you directly to the certificate manager. It only appears if the selected configuration requires certificates at all.

• MQTT encryption (TLS) in all editions. TLS encryption for MQTT is now available in all editions; previously, it was reserved for higher editions.
• Standardised connection test. The ‘Test connection’ button is now available consistently for all data source types; previously, it was not available across the board.
• Firebird database driver updated. The Firebird driver has been updated to Jaybird 5 to ensure better compatibility with the latest versions of Firebird.
• Progress during browsing and importing. Longer-running processes, such as the S7 project import or the BACnet device search, now display their progress and the results found so far whilst the search is in progress, rather than remaining without feedback until the end.
• Creating user groups is now easier. Permissions and members are now assigned in the Group dialogue via tick boxes in separate lists, with a search field and a display showing the number selected; there is no longer any need to switch between two tables.
• The Certificate Manager launches only once. If the Certificate Manager is already open, it is now brought to the foreground instead of a second window being opened; it also appears in the editor’s language.

• BACnet: COV changes are written immediately. Fixes a memory leak, duplicate logging and a race condition.
• S7 connection via MPI. S7 data sources with MPI coupling were incorrectly treated as the deprecated PPI and did not establish a connection; MPI now connects correctly again.
• Duplicate runtime ports. When editing a runtime port, identical or duplicate ports could be created; this is now prevented.
• Variable values in reloaded pages. Reloaded pages and dialogues are now initialised with the existing variable values.
• System variable user_rights and conditions. The system variable user_rights is now initialised correctly on start-up; the saving of conditions has been stabilised.
• Data logging: reserved column VALUE. The reserved column VALUE is now handled correctly when the table is created and when data is written to it.
• External logging at runtime start. External logging is updated with the current values as required when the runtime starts.
• The VideoPlayer is more robust. HTTP 403 errors from the video source are now handled.
• OPC UA: Datentyp und Zugriffsrechte von Variablen. Importierte OPC-UA-Variablen wurden immer mit dem Datentyp Variant und ohne Zugriffsrechte angelegt, und auch beim Schreiben wurde der vom Server gemeldete Datentyp nie verwendet. Beides wird jetzt korrekt übernommen.
• Translations containing special characters. Translated texts containing certain special characters were displayed incorrectly.
• Java API: Browsing returned no variables. Browsing a Java API data source always returned no results.
• Feedback when browsing without an accessible remote station. In this case, BACnet and web service data sources previously displayed an empty list without any comment; a message now appears.
• S7-Symbolic: Connection test when an alarm is pending. The connection test might be cancelled if the S7 alarms were enabled and an alarm was currently pending on the controller.
• Integer variables for web services and InfluxDB. For variables of type Integer, an existing address could not be carried over.
• Elements opened twice in the project tree. An element in the project tree may have been opened twice by mistake.

Lynx v14.12.1 (2026-07-01)

• Central Certificate Manager: Server certificates and trust relationships are now managed in one place: create, import (PKCS#12), export (PEM/DER or PFX), replace and delete.
• Standard certificates for HTTPS (web interface) and applications (OPC UA) can be configured centrally; storage for issuer, trusted and rejected certificates is included.
• A separate TLS certificate can be assigned to each HTTPS port.
• The Certificate Manager is available in the RuntimeManager, in the ConsoleRuntimeManager (headless/CLI) and from within the editor (Project Explorer → Security → Certificates).
• MQTT certificates (CA, client certificate and client key) are now configured for each data source and stored in the project.
• New variable quality BAD_WAITING_FOR_DATA for subscribed MQTT topics for which the broker does not yet hold a value (no retained message).
• Tables such as the Variables view can now be edited directly inline.

• The data source simulation window has been redesigned: instead of a separate window for each data source, there is now a single window featuring a tree view of all simulated data sources on the left and a searchable, sortable variable table on the right. Values can be set directly in the table (Boolean via tick box), assigned random values individually or in bulk (with a configurable value range for each variable), and individual data sources can be expanded into their own window if required.
• The RuntimeManager starts up much faster: instances are now loaded asynchronously in the background, and the window is ready for use straight away. The detailed information for an instance is only loaded once it is selected.
• Significantly clearer error messages for MQTT connection issues (e.g. missing or rejected client certificate, untrusted certificate chain, hostname does not match the certificate) instead of technical stack traces.

• MQTT authentication via client certificate (mTLS) now also works with keys in PKCS#8 format; previously, authentication attempts using such keys failed silently.
• If an error occurred whilst initialising a DatabaseTable, the rendering of the entire page might previously have been aborted, meaning that other controls were not displayed correctly. The error is now handled in isolation.
• The default tooltip for the QHMIButton differed between the editor and runtime; both now display the same tooltip.
• Your session now remains active after a simple browser refresh; previously, you had to log in again.
• Previously, when resizing the window, the page would almost always reload when a media breakpoint was crossed, even if no new responsive layout was required. The page now only reloads if a different layout actually needs to be loaded.
• An error affecting Modbus data sources with a read interval of more than 10 seconds has been resolved.
• The custom time picker in the chart was displayed incorrectly.
• A potential deadlock in the S7 data source has been resolved.
• When importing a password-protected project, I was not asked for the password.

• Important (change in behaviour): For OPC UA data sources where ‘Automatically accept certificates’ is disabled, self-signed server certificates are now correctly verified against the trust store. Existing connections of this type will fail after the update until the server certificate has been approved once via ‘Certificate Manager → Rejected → Trust’ and the instance has been restarted. Data sources with ‘Auto-Accept’ enabled are not affected.
• The previous global options for SSL, OPC and MQTT certificates are no longer available; existing certificates will be automatically transferred to the central certificate manager during the update.
• For S7 and Modbus data sources, the default value of BitOrLength for string data types is now 254.

Lynx v14.11.5 (2026-06-17)

• UI issue when pressing the Delete key on some interfaces: even if the cursor was in an input field, the system would still ask whether the currently selected item should be deleted.
• UI issue in the translation text screen: The input mode was repeatedly reset to ‘Overwrite’.
• OnLeftButtonClick was no longer executed for SVG controls.
• Some chart tooltips displayed incorrect values or values from other charts.
• Fixed an issue with launching the runtime when projects contained variables or other elements with a % character.
• An error when launching Enterprise projects in the RuntimeManager has been fixed.

Lynx v14.11.3 (2026-06-04)

• The variable reference list has been improved and now clearly shows where variables are used in the project.
• Charts are now only displayed in the Toolbox Manager once they have been created in the project.
• Ports now have an additional icon to make it clearer that a connection can be established with a single click.

• A bug has been fixed whereby controls could, at runtime, have a higher z-index than open dialogues, the on-screen keyboard or the view selector in the footer.

Lynx v14.11.2 (2026-06-01)

• A problem has been fixed that could have caused connection issues with S7 LOGO controllers.

Lynx v14.11.1 (2026-05-28)

• OPC UA data publishing now supports multiple base addresses as well as HTTPS.
• In the editor, each control now has a tooltip that clearly displays all links to variables, properties and constants.

• A problem has been fixed whereby projects with the on-screen keyboard enabled were no longer displaying all data correctly at runtime following the User CSS update.

Lynx v14.10.1 (2026-05-26)

• Provision of QuickHMI variables via an internal OPC server
  QuickHMI can be used to make configurable variables or entire data sources available via an integrated OPC server. Depending on the configuration, these can be read and written to by external OPC clients, allowing them to be flexibly integrated into existing automation and system environments.
• Defining default values for control properties
  New default values can be set for control properties. These default values are applied to all newly placed controls, as well as (optionally) to existing controls whose properties still have the old default value.

Lynx v14.9.3 (2026-05-18)

• Errors when exporting and starting the runtime with Professional and Standard licences.
• Errors in SVG elements with special characters in property names.

Lynx v14.9.1 (2026-05-12)

• CSS Styling (Ultimate)
  You can now manage and apply your own CSS styles in the editor. These directly affect the appearance of the visualisation at runtime and allow for a more flexible and customised design of the interface.
  
  Standard classes and IDs are provided to target specific controls. You can also define your own classes.

• Default values and names of SVG controls can now also be adjusted in the table view.

• Missing translations in context menus.

Lynx v14.8.1 (2026-05-07)

• SVGs with JavaScript support
  With the ability to define custom JavaScript code for each SVG control – for example, to respond to changes in properties – there are now no limits to the creation of custom SVG controls.
• Improved chat assistant
  As part of the JavaScript implementation, the chat assistant for creating SVG controls has also been completely overhauled. An improved user interface and significantly better results from the chat assistant now make it possible to create complex SVG controls in no time at all.
• New standard controls
  We have already prepared a number of SVG controls and added them to our standard pool of controls. Although these SVG controls cannot be edited directly, you can create an editable copy by clicking on the SVG icon in the toolbox.

• Custom alarm conditions, such as “Alarm if value is greater than 100”, were overwritten when alarms were edited again.
• Fixed an issue where the runtime failed to start if it was launched by a standard user after having previously been run by a user with elevated privileges.
• Issues with triggering the OnMouseUp event have been resolved.
• Fixed an issue with establishing the KNX connection.
• Fixed an issue where frequent use of the Undo function (Ctrl+Z) in HTML and JavaScript input fields caused errors.

Lynx v14.7.2 (2026-03-27)

• Error when using the System.Color variables.

Lynx v14.7.1 (2026-03-26)

• An additional "Status" column in the alarm overview to improve readability.

• Previously, the tooltip only displayed the values that had changed at that exact moment. Now, all values are shown in the tooltip. If a value has not changed at that exact moment, the most recent value is now displayed.

• A bug that prevented the runtime from starting during a clean installation.
• Error when editing data sources via the Project Explorer.
• Error importing faceplates.

Lynx v14.6.5 (2026-03-18)

• Error when deleting rules on specific properties of certain controls.
• When creating chart X-axes, Y-axes and new data series, these were displayed multiple times in the list.

Lynx v14.6.4 (2026-03-16)

• Update of the S7 driver (PLCcom for S7 16.2.2 -> 16.3.1). Changelog.

• Fehler der dazu führte, dass Benutzer nicht mehr bearbeitet werden konnten.

Lynx v14.6.3 (2026-03-11)

• Error when using placeholders in faceplates if affected variables were also used in charts.
• Error updating the interface when creating or deleting users and charts.

Lynx v14.6.2 (2026-02-27)

Lynx v14.5.2 (2026-01-08)

• New syntax header in the variable list view for better clarity.
• Optimizations to the user interface for more consistent alignment and better readability.

• Fixed several causes of sporadic null reference errors in editor dialogs and action masks.

• Fixed issues with dragging and dropping variables.
• When editing actions, the negation property of the previously edited action could be reset.

Lynx v14.5.1 (2025-12-04)

• Dynamic placeholders for faceplates
  Placeholders can now also be changed at runtime. For example, values for any number of machines can be displayed in a single dialog box by adjusting the placeholders at runtime.
• Double-clicking on a placed faceplate opens it directly for editing.
• Right-clicking on a variable in the variable list now displays all references to that variable.

• Error in calculating the number of references displayed in the variable table.
• Error when switching responsive layouts in the editor if there was a faceplate on the page.

Lynx v14.4.2 (2025-11-28)

• SVG properties could no longer be selected to create or edit rules.

Lynx v14.4.1 (2025-11-27)

• User layouts
  Up to eight freely definable layouts can now be saved via Editor → Layout. A full-screen view is also available.
• Only read used variables
  When exporting a project or starting the runtime from the editor, the system checks which variables are actually used. Only these variables are then read from the data sources. This improves performance, especially for projects with many unused variables.
  Problems can occur if the use of a variable is not clearly recognizable, e.g., in JavaScript (if the variable name does not appear completely in the code) or in faceplates in connection with placeholders.
  In such cases, reading can be explicitly enforced for each data source and each variable. When starting the runtime from the editor, the runtime also recognizes when such "unrecognized" variables are read anyway and automatically marks them for the next runtime start or export.
• New command: FORCE_VARIABLE
  The previous command SET_VARIABLE only writes a value if the new value differs from the current value. In rare cases—for example, if the value has changed on the controller but this change is not yet known on the client side—this caused write operations to be skipped.
  FORCE_VARIABLE bypasses this check and always sends the new value to the data source.
• The Component Inspector has been split into two freely positionable windows to make working on smaller screens easier.
• When importing variables, existing variables are now skipped.

• Memory leak in RuntimeManager: Certain memory areas were not released when starting and stopping instances.
• Problems with S7 TLS connection.
• Multiple placeholders in a faceplate property, rule, or action caused problems.
• The design area occasionally jumped up when selecting controls.
• The Window dropdown in the Editor menu sometimes showed duplicate entries.
• Error when starting the runtime from the editor if multiple ports were defined for a project.
• Problems importing TwinCAT variables with array structures.
• Pointer variables were not displayed in the SET_VARIABLE action.
• Newly created variables did not always appear immediately in areas for creating rules and actions.
• Error when resetting the value manipulation of a variable to "NONE".
• The configured read timeout for S7-TLS connections had no effect.
• The data source filter in the alarm table did not work as expected.
• Errors in the Switch2 and Switch3 controls: After an error condition, they were no longer operable.

Lynx v14.3.2 (2025-10-27)

• Adjustments in Community Mode

Lynx v14.3.1 (2025-10-24)

• Community Mode – Available free of charge for private use. Allows you to work without a developer licence with reduced functionality.

• LiveData: Variables that no longer exist are no longer updated.
• RuntimeManager may freeze during the update.
• Removing items in ControlChooser stabilised.
• Reopening previously closed pages works correctly.
• Duplicating pages is working again.
• Deleting multiple controls at once could lead to undesirable behaviour.

Lynx v14.2.1 (2025-10-08)

• Saving user-specific editor layouts

• Copy/paste on undocked pages – context menu and shortcuts are working reliably again.
• Faceplate: Default properties (e.g. Visibility) are no longer overwritten by internal faceplate properties in rules and actions during project export/runtime start.
• Modbus merge: Log output expanded – clearer merge details and improved traceability.
• MQTT: Browsing of MQTT data sources stabilised
• ResetLayout: undesirable behaviour fixed – layout is reset cleanly without side effects.

Lynx v14.1.2 (2025-09-22)

• Incorrect behaviour when exporting SVG controls.
• When saving a faceplate that contains controls with properties whose value is null, undesirable behaviour occurs.
• Incorrect behaviour when ending the runtime if the restart button was clicked shortly before.
• Improved consistency of colour display in different themes.

Jellyfish v12.8.1 (2025-06-13)

• Duplicating pages via the context menu in the project explorer.
• Separation of the different variable types (internal global/local, external and system) on separate pages. To access these, the corresponding menu item must be selected in the project explorer.
• Workstation Editor no longer as a separate download. Workstation users may have to import their license once again in the Editor after this update.

• Error when setting and navigating to the navigation target of alarms.
• Error when starting the console RuntimeManager under Linux.

• Saving and exporting a project is no longer confirmed with a pop-up dialog, but via a message in the status bar.
• In the Viewer, it is now possible to log out by clicking on the user name in the status bar.
• If an action is executed at runtime for which the currently logged-in user does not have the rights, an error message is displayed.

• Translation texts were not displayed when creating rules.
• It was not possible to connect to AllenBradley controllers from the editor.
  Workaround: Start the Editor once as administrator and test the connection. The connection should then also work without administrator rights.

Jellyfish v12.6.2 (2025-04-04)

Dear users,

Due to a known problem in the previous version 12.6.1, an automatic update is currently not possible. Please download the latest version manually from our website. https://www.indi-an.com/en/quickhmi/quickhmi-downloads/

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. From version 12.6.2, the automatic update will work again as usual.

QuickHMI Jellyfish v12.1.2 (09.12.2024)

New major release!

AI power for QuickHMI: ChatGPT integration 

With the seamless integration of the ChatGPT API, the software now offers powerful AI support. The AI helps both with the general use of the editor and with the targeted development of SVG controls. Functions such as the automatic addition of properties or actions are taken over by the AI, saving users time and significantly simplifying complex tasks. 

Individual data sources: Flexibility through Java integration 

QuickHMI is expanding its functionality and now offers the option of programming your own data sources in Java. With the API provided, users can flexibly implement their individual requirements by implementing them directly in a Java project. The resulting JAR file can then be seamlessly integrated and used in the QuickHMI editor. This extension opens up completely new possibilities for developers to create customized solutions and integrate QuickHMI into their automation projects in even more versatile ways. 

API: https://github.com/IndiAnGmbH/QuickHMI-Java-Datasource-API

Precise design made easy: guide lines and snap-in functions 

QuickHMI now makes the design of user interfaces even more intuitive: guide lines and practical snap-in functions now support the precise alignment of control elements. These new features ensure a faster and more efficient arrangement, saving development time and guaranteeing a professional layout. 

Docker support: quick and easy project publishing 

By providing a preconfigured Docker image, users can now deploy their projects even more quickly and easily. This solution enables seamless integration into existing environments and saves valuable time during setup and configuration. 

Efficient Modbus connection: test tools directly in the editor 

QuickHMI now integrates powerful test tools for Modbus protocols: With the new functions for Modbus Slave and Modbus Master, users can test and analyze the connection to their data sources directly in the editor. This extension makes it quick and easy to check communication, reduces sources of error and significantly improves the development process. 

TwinCAT support for Linux 64-bit: Maximum flexibility

Version 10.1.1 (15.11.2022)

New

• Recipe management
  The QuickHMI recipe management has been completely revised and now offers more possibilities in workflow, security and the organisation of user rights.
• External logging for internal data sources and differentiation of log and image
  From now on, internal data sources can also be logged externally. Until QuickHMI Gazelle, this was only possible with external data sources. External logging can be configured for the system as well as for the internal data source by double-clicking on the list entry. Another new feature is that the data log and the data image can now be generated separately for external logging. Previously, this distinction did not exist and the log was always generated automatically. Now, optionally, only one of the two can be generated. If the data log is not needed anyway, memory resources can be saved. In addition, a selection can be made via selection lists to determine which variables are to be logged for external logging and which are not.
• Alarm control element
  From QuickHMI Hawk onwards, there is the alarm control element. This new feature was developed primarily at the request of our customers. The alarm control can be placed in the editor at the desired position and functions as a table in which alarms are clearly displayed during runtime. Alarms can be filtered and displayed in different ways and individual colour highlighting is possible. For example, a specific colour can be defined for active alarms and one for inactive alarms. In addition, it is possible to determine how many variables are displayed per table page and a search field can be integrated into the table.
• MQTT Secured connection (SSL)
  MQTT connections can be secured with TLS from QuickHMI Hawk. This was also a frequently requested feature from our customers, which we can now offer you. If the connection is encrypted, authentication can be realised via login or with a certificate stored by the user. It is important to note that different certificates must be provided for the Editor runtime and the Runtime Manager runtime.
• HTTP header for the web service data source
  When creating web service data sources, there is now a section called "Headers". Here you can define HTTP headers by specifying a header name and a header value. You can create your own headers as well as select from a variety of predefined standards. A special feature is the Authorisation Header. The content of the Authorisation Header, when using Basic Authentication, can be generated automatically by entering the user name and password.
• Rights query for actions and rules
  User and rights management has always been an integral and important part of the QuickHMI system. Actions can be linked to rights, for example. An event can consist of several actions that can only be executed if a certain right is assigned to the executing user (When applying rights assignment).From QuickHMI Hawk onwards, it is now also possible to protect ONLY ONE of the assigned actions by a right within an event, whereas the other actions remain available for all users. This is realised under "Conditions" within the action settings via the new variable "System.user.rights". Linked to this is a selection of rights that can be assigned to the user for a corresponding action within an event. Multiple selection is possible. The same applies to rules.
• New system variables for alarms
  In QuickHMI you have the option of displaying all system variables via a checkbox. Previously there was only the variable "active_alarm_count". This shows how many alarms are generally active. However, there is no subdivision of the alarm types. This is different from version Hawk onwards, because there are also 3 new system variables in which the number of alarms is broken down by type:active_message_alarm_count | active_warning_alarm_count | active_error_alarm_countThese show in detail how many message alarms, how many warning alarms and how many error alarms are active.
• Extended support for Allen-Bradley controllers
  QuickHMI now supports additional Allen-Bradley controllers. These include controllers from the Micro800 and MicroLogix series. The latest generation of controllers from the Compact and ControlLogix series are also now supported. Support for Plc5, Slc500 and LogixPccc is implemented on an experimental basis.
