Yes, you can use the .net library to open a pdf file with the following code inside the button click event:
string path = SVApplications.ProjectPath() +”Reports\\ReportDemoPDF.pdf”
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(path);
In this example, it will open the ReportDemoPDF.pdf file which is located under Reports folder inside the project folder.
(i.e. C:\Users\admin\Documents\ADISRA SmartView\DemoApplication\Reports\ReportDemoPDF.pdf)
You can also use the same Process.Start() function to execute any external software.

You can use the template object, and reuse it as many times as you need. The template object will define internal object tags where you can display the variables that represent that system and you can also create any type of animation. As soon as you finish the template object, it is possible to add it as many times as you want and when configuring each one of them, you will be able to configure the tags that represent that specific system. With templates you can also export and reuse in a different project in case you need it in a future project.
Yes, after creating the driver’s communication and setting the tag that will receive the updates from the PLC, you can create a Tag’s History spreadsheet and add that tag to it. You can still choose from saving the information in the internal database (proprietary) or an external relational database. If you choose the external database, you just need to create a Database Connection first in the Top Ribbon under Settings:
Yes, just enable the runtime security and configure a profile removing the permissions as in the image below:
