Main ApplicationΒΆ

The Dataristix main application is a browser application available at http://localhost:8282 by default. Recommended browsers are all modern desktop browsers. Mobile browsers and touch devices are usable but have limited support at this time; it is not recommended to use touch devices for Task design.

The browser acts as a client for Dataristix background services that are part of the standard Dataristix installation. Connector modules are loaded as plugins into the main application.

The following picture shows parts of the main application window.

Use the Navigation Panel to switch between different content views. Depending on the selected content, the toolbar may show additional or different tool buttons.

The message panel lists recent events such as task start or stop events or any errors that may occur during background operations or as a result of user interactions.

The background service and any running tasks keep running even when you close the browser window.
