Using Native Mode

Native Mode in Velocity utilizes the traditional black-and-green screen common to terminal emulation applications. While in Native Mode, Velocity's ability to render pages in HTML is deactivated and you navigate through the screens using keystrokes.

When Native Mode is deactivated, the Velocity Client utilizes its built-in HTML reader to predict the format of screens or use a theme created in the Velocity Console and present screens with updated screen layouts and styles. For more information about formatting elements of a screen, see Using the Velocity Console. To create themes and edit the elements of a screen, see the Velocity Console User Guide.

To use Native Mode

1.From the Velocity app, tap the Menu button in the top-right corner of the screen.

2.Tap Turn Native Mode On.

Native Mode is enabled and the screen returns to the traditional black-and-green format without an HTML theme applied.

To disable Native Mode

1.From the Velocity app, tap the Menu button in the top-right corner of the screen.

2.Tap Turn Native Mode Off.

Native Mode is disabled and Velocity applies your HTML theme to all screens. If a screen is encountered without an HTML template, a loading animation appears above a button labeled Native Mode. To display the screen, users must tap the Native Mode button. This can be avoided from the Velocity Console by either applying a template to the screen or by enabling the Auto Switch to Native Mode option.
