Adding the ReflowService
Ensure that you’ve followed the installation instructions before starting
To get started with Reflow, you must add the ReflowService to your station:
- Connect to your station in Workbench
- Open the reflow Palette in Workbench
- Drag the ReflowService to your station under Config > Services
- Double-click on the ReflowService component in your station tree. This will open the Reflow View
- To configure Reflow, click on the view dropdown named Reflow in the top corner of the view and select Reflow Config – this will open the Reflow Config View.
Viewing Content
Operators will interact with the station using the Reflow View. The easiest way to get there is with a web browser pointed to the Reflow View servlet on your station, https://STATION_ADDRESS/reflow.
This view is fully functional and offers a superior experience, especially to operators who are not familiar with Niagara. We recommend directing operators and end users to this view immediately after they log in to Niagara – see Setting up the Reflow View as a user’s default/home page for details.
Configuring Content
It is recommended to access the Reflow Config View using a web browser and the Niagara Web UI instead of Workbench.
The Reflow Config View is available the Niagara Web UI (recommended) or via Workbench. To access this view, double-click on the ReflowService to open the Reflow View, then select the Reflow Config View at the top right of the component. You can also right-click the ReflowService and go to Views > Reflow Config.
