Resolution choices
InTouch Application
resolution
Remote Desktop
session resolution
Device screen resolution
In previous versions of InTouch Access Anywhere, the only choice was to
use the native InTouch Application Resolution to launch a Remote
Desktop Session that matches it.
In this mode, Applications with resolution larger than the device screen
require scroll bars or zooming and panning.
The new resolution options allow launching a session
where the InTouch application and RD session are
forced to match the dimensions of the screen (Fit to
Screen) or browser viewport (Fit to Browser)
Browser viewport

22. Schneider Electric - Wonderware – Date
New Resolution Choices
FIT TO BROWSER
Launches a session that matches
the viewport of your browser.
FIT TO SCREEN
Launches a session that matches
the screen of the device, hiding
browser menu bars, toolbars, etc.
Note: InTouch Dynamic Resolution Conversion must be enabled in the node properties for every user at the
InTouch Access Anywhere server node
