The run-time environment is the public face of Proficy Portal. When users connect to an Proficy Portal server, they are presented with the run-time environment.
The options and preferences set in the configuration environment determine how much you can customize a display at run-time. For example, a display developer can disable time criteria and scroll button modifications for specific displays or the entire application.
The following table summarizes the defaults you can set from the run-time environment when all preferences are enabled:

After you make a change to a display's default settings, that setting takes effect. For example, if you change the time criteria, the new time span is used in place of the old one. You can make these changes permanent by saving your changes. Refer to the section Saving Run-time Changes to learn more about saving displays at run-time.
Several functions are available within the run-time environment, regardless of the permissions you have been granted. These include saving pen and event groups, printing, and exporting chart and grid data.
