IMPORTANT: In latest versions of
Niagara, the legacy
Niagara Mobile technology is deprecated. Although it continues to be supported and works as expected, you should not use it for any
new projects. Instead, use the mobile-friendly features of the HTML5 Hx Profile which provides a significantly improved mobile
user experience.
NOTE: In
Niagara , you can view HxPx pages from a mobile profile by setting the Px Target Media to HxPx. This feature is on by default. However, if you prefer to continue viewing only mobile pages you can turn this feature off
by going to your MobilePxApp and setting the showHxPx property to false.

In
NiagaraAX releases (
AX-3.7–
AX-3.8), Mobile apps use Bajascript technology and require no Java-plugin download. The Default Mobile Web Profile provides a reduced
set of features (compared to the Java-plugin profiles) but includes most of the frequently-used controls and field editors
in a way that is easy to use on a cell phone or tablet.
Figure 36. Default Mobile Profile is supported for
NiagaraAX releases (
AX-3.7–
AX-3.8)
Major features of the Default Mobile Profile include:
- Header navigation
The Header Bar appears across the top of the view area and displays a Back button and a Command button for navigation. This bar can be disabled (hidden) if desired.
- Real-Time Data
Data is displayed in real time using Bajascript technology and the
NiagaraAX BOX service instead of the Java plugin.
- View Selector
A limited set of view selections are available through the Select Views menu under the Command button.
