If you try to start a non-Compact application or a PanelView Plus 7 Performance application on a PanelView Plus 7 Standard terminal or a PanelView Plus 6 Compact terminal, an error message will appear and the application will not be loaded.
If your application uses a shared network folder to store data log files, you will have to log onto a network when the application starts. To run the application automatically, you must store the network logon data in the terminal's permanent storage.
