Credential Management
InTouch OMI ViewApps can use security credentials created in Application Server to gain access to third-party data where Windows OS credentials are not recognized, and/or to provide a method to automatically load a particular data set for specified users.
Line Thickness and Symbol Rendering
In prior releases, rounded rectangles and the line thickness of symbol elements did not always render the same at run time in an InTouch OMI ViewApp as they appeared during design/configuration. These elements will now be rendered at run time to appear the same as they do at design time.
