Start rant..
So in a previous gig a coworker setup a skid with FactoryTalk View point and I thought it was kind of neat being able to load a touchscreen from a tablet pc what have you.
Well its been a minute and finally got around an OIT for the first time at my new job, made a nice couple page terminal with gradient buttons, user login nothing that advanced just on/off controls, some multistate indicators yaddayadda.
Have another similar one that might come up in the future customer would like to have OIT and PC control, said that would be doable since PVP+ allows a single view point to be ran on the network.
Go and publish the screens on the current job just to find out it looks like trash.
Then I come across this little artical
FactoryTalk ViewPoint 8.00 and higher: Unsupported FactoryTalk View ME features

Pretty big let down.
