Using NetX with a Touchscreen Computer

If you are using a touchscreen computer such as a Microsoft Surface, default browser settings might result in unexpected behavior. Please see the instructions below if you are having trouble with the following operations in NetX:

  • Hidden UI functionality due to mobile device incompatibility
  • Dragging a box around assets to select them
  • Dragging assets to folders
  • Dragging the edges of a pane to resize it

These issues occur if touch event support is enabled in the browser. Touch events must be disabled for NetX to function correctly when used on a touchscreen computer.
