In reply to Zohaib Jahan:

Could be simple. If your Remote client session is always a View Only with access to a single display, that can be handled a bit differently. It gets more complicated if you want to have different display behavior on a console for different users. If you publish displays to a workstation, they can be called up through the search utility, even if you block access through the display Sets and such.

On a dedicated session for View Only, consider making a layout file with a single display frame. You don't need the Alarm Banner as View only clients don't get any alarms. Set this display set to a fixed Display and disable navigation. The named display will be the only display shown. You then need a Display set to identify the display that needs to be published so serve this display frame. Technically, you would only need to add this display to the Non-hierarchical display area and leave the hierarchy blank. Or you could set the display as the only display in the hierarchy and leave Non-hierarchy displays empty.

This will lock this session to only show this one display. Since you don't have any other displays in the display set, the search tool will not be able to call up any other display via Module assigned Process Displays.

Any user that logs onto this session will be limited by this layout and display set. Do not assign any additional display sets as this would cause those displays to be published and be available via search. The layout cannot be changed at run time so having a single display frame with no navigation and no alarm banner would pretty much lock this down.

Your other sessions or workstations would use a different layout and Display set combination to access different displays with navigation and alarm direct access, as well as search tools.
