Gradients - currently not supported in N4 | NCCB-12450 | Fixed in 4.2.31.5 Work Around:Use an SVG image on a Label as a background |
Radio Buttons - currently not supported in N4 | NCCB-12454 | Fixed in 4.0.14.3 |
Canvas, scale, fit ratio - currently not supported in N4 | NCCB-14557 | Fixed in 4.3.53.1 Work Around: Change fit ratio to none. |
Borders : inset - currently not supported in N4 | NCCB-15913 | Fixed in 4.3.38.3 Change to solid or none |
HxPx does not have support for groove, ridge, inset or outset | NCCB-15913 | Fixed in 4.3.38.3 HXPX has support for none, solid dotted and dashed |
Mouse over styling does not visibly change in HxPx when used with full image | NCCB-15941 NCCB-17251 |
Work Around:manually inspect all EnhancedBoundLabels on all PX pages and Ensure they are all user EnhancedValueBindng instead of the regular ValueBinding. This will help it render in hxpx. |
IE10: Overlapping labels prevent hyperlinks from working in HxPx | NCCB-15943 | Fixed in 4.2.28.1 |
HxPx transparent canvas background makes child widgets incorrectly transparent | NCCB-15876 | Fixed in 4.2.31.5 Work Around:Edit the canvas background and choose a solid color. |
WB bindings to the ReportService (component and BQL reporting grids) do not render with HTML5HxProfile. The page displays blank. | NCCB-17084 NCCB-18681 |
Fixed in 4..35.1 |
The Piping/SmallPiping/CWS horizontal and vertical pieces are backwards i.e. horizontal pieces are actually vertical. Also the DuctHorzBypass.svg the height of the duct in the bypass section is to big so none of the other objects (dampers, coils...ect) don't line up with the duct. | NCCB-17085 | For the piping, they are just named wrong and they can use vertical in place of horizontal and visa versa. There is no work around for the bypass damper. |
In AX a PXView with a BoundLabelBinding to invoke a BQL query to request number of rows in a table. | NCCB-13473 | BQL syntax has changed in N4, and BQL queries on a PX page may not work as intended. Example of sample queries: Replace station:|slot:/Drivers/NiagaraNetwork|bql:select name as "Point Name", slotPath as "Unit Description", out as "Point Status" from control:ControlPoint|bql|size to :|slot:/Drivers/NiagaraNetwork|bql:select count(*) from control:ControlPoint|cell:0,0 |
In a browser, when viewing a Special Event "Custom" event, the dialog box incorrectly displays the custom settings. The "week" setting selection will always match the "month" selection. | NCCB-18360 | |
Alarm console buttons cutoff incorrectly when you re-size the browser window | NCCB-17496 | |
Hx History Chart Builder is missing right-click export view export and data. This feature allows the user to export to csv, html, text and pdf in the workbench view. | NCCB-13859 | |
Provide export button in Hx profiles to provide easier access to exporters (BoundTable) | NCCB-12659 | |
Provide export button in Hx profiles to provide easier access to exporters (GridTable) | NCCB-12659 | |
SetPointSlider with vertical orientation is flipped in HxPx View | NCCB-18204 | Fixed in 4.2.33.1 |
SetPointCheckBox appears cutoff in a browser view (HTML5HxProfile) | NCCB-18447 | |
Using the html5 profile, right-click on an outgoing account > Actions > Send All the fields of the pop-up window cannot be edited from the browser. (Works fine in workbench/wbProfile) |
NCCB-18440 | |
The scheduler view won't let you save a schedule on a tabbed pane (first tab seems to work, but if you make a change on any other tabs the save icon stays grayed out). The schedules on the other tabs also won't let you perform right-click actions like, Apply Mon-Fri, etc. |
NCCB-18461 | Fixed in 4.3.37.0 |
Polygons with width 0 or height 0 don't render in HX, nor in HTML5. A graphic with vertical lines being generated by Px ‘path’ button (on the canvasPane) contains lines have a width of zero, and they do not render. |
NCCB-17318 | Fixed in 4.2.36.4/4.3.37.1 If the ‘path’ is not exactly vertical it will render. So, if you take one end of the path figure and move it slightly so it is not exactly vertical, then save the Px, you will see it display in the browser. -Or- Don't use "Path" from the BajaUi palette. Instead, use "Line" from the same palette. |
Subordinate Niagara stations (JACEs for example) have histories in a Supervisor. The Histories are displayed in Px Views, and should re-use Px files. This is similar to relativized Point ORDs, but for Histories instead. | Not a JIRA issue. Available in AX and N4 but not widely used. |
Note this shorthand is only intended for history views embedded within a Px graphic, and does not work with hyperlinks. A special history ID syntax was required to provide a mechanism for graphics which are portable between JACE folders on a Supervisor. For example, given a network with two JACE stations, "Foo" and "Bar": NiagaraNetwork Foo Graphic Bar Graphic In the situation above, let's say you want the Graphic to be able to access the OAT history for the respective Niagara stations, as follows: /NiagaraNetwork/Foo/Graphic -> history:/Foo/OAT /NiagaraNetwork/Bar/Graphic -> history:/Bar/OAT In order to accomplish this and allow the Graphic to be portable, a new syntax was added to the History ORD scheme which checks for a '@' character in the History ID. Using the same example as above, the history IDs within the graphics would be reformatted as follows: /Foo/OAT -> @OAT /Bar/OAT -> @OAT The new History ORD scheme will detect the starting '@' character and use the parent Niagara Station instance (the Station name of the JACE, for example) to resolve the history. Meaning, you have a Px graphic under a Niagara Station. And this Px has embedded widgets whose value binding is the history you want to display. You’d drag the history onto the Px and in the ‘Make Widget’ wizard select ‘Workbench view’, and whatever chart or table. After the widget is created, edit the ‘Wb View Binding’ and replace the device name with the ‘@’ symbol. |
N4 charting can relativize Point ORDs just like any pxEditor widget to a value binding. This will automatically display the Histories associated with the Points. No need to refer to the History ID. See the attached |
Not a JIRA issue. This is a new N4 feature, in addition to the "@" syntax above. | The Px View must be a view on a Component, such as the Points folder under a particular device. 1) You can display the history on a specific child-point of the points folder... slot:Ramp ...this is standard syntax for a relative ORD. 2) You can display the first 10 children-points (that have with histories) slot: ...the preceding was "slot:" followed by nothing. |
Hx page will not load if apostrophe appears in lexicon, double quotes, or single quotes appear on page. Such as, a bound label pointing to a StringWritable containing "HELLO", the double quotes will cause the Hx page not to load. | NCCB-10153 | Fixed in 4.3.52.4/4.4.60.1 Edit the text and replace the problem character with the unicode version. This has some other problems. Alternately you could replace the character with text, such as 6" pipe could be changed to 6 inch pipe. |
Some stations have a lot of content. Global changes can be made with the following search and replace procedure using Workbench:
In Workbench, make a Station connection to your Niagara Host (JACE or Supervisor) , and use the Backup Service to create a complete station Backup*.dist file.
In Workbench, make a Platform connection to your Niagara Host, and use the Station Copier to copy that Host's Station to your Workbench PC.
In the menu bar in Workbench, go to Search, and choose Replace in Files. In the window that comes up, enter in the information as directed below:

Search for:
scale="fitRatio"
Replace with:
scale="none"
Files to Replace
*.px
Folder
<Niagara-user-home>\stations\<station-name>\shared
Please note that the <Niagara-user-home> will already be filled-in by Workbench. You only need to add the Station-specific path on the right, either by typing, or by clicking on the navigation (folder) icon next to the path.
After hitting OK, make sure to click “Select All” and then hit OK again.
Once the PX changes have been made in the Niagara-user-home, copy the station back to the Host.
