How to deploy the Intouch Application?

Select $VIGA and right click on it. If "Check In" is available first select it and check in all changes.

Now select "Publish InTouch Application..." and follow the instructions. Publish the application to C:\Users\Public\Wonderware\Intouch Applications".

After the application is published open the "Intouch Application Manager" and find and run the application as always.

To start the application automatically with Windows add the "Intouch Viewer" to the Windows Startup folder (e.g. a shortcut to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Wonderware\InTouch\view.exe").

The "Intouch Viewer" will automatically start the last Intouch Application.

To disable the AutoStart of the application close the Intouch Viewer and remove the shortcut to it from the windows startup folder.

If you make any changes to the application, you must republish it.
