I am trying to create an HMI webserver for my PLC and followed the manual instructions, but when I want to select a page as start page via right click at the page, I can read "Select HMI Page as Startup" (right below "Create HMI Page Template" in the normal menu), but I can't click on it to set it. It's just light grey instead of the normal color. All other options are eligible as usual.
Do I have to adjust any other settings to enable the setting of a start page? Compiling without it is not possible.

One possibility for „Set HMI Page as Startup“ being greyed out is having pages placed on the „Navigation“ page.
Look in the project tree…below „HMI Webserver“ is an item called „Application.“
Left double click on „Application“ – a Navigation window will appear in the main workspace.
If you have pages already placed on this „Navigation“ screen, you cannot use the right mouse click to Set a new page.
On the Navigation Window, the top left page tile IS your home page.
Hey, thank you for the quick answer.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work. In the window after the double click at „Applications“ aren’t any pages besides the automatically created Login Page. In the tree below „Application“ there is no house symbol, just the page symbols. I just started to make the HMI connection.
But I might be not completely sure what you mean by the „Navigation“ screen.
Besides that I always get the error message "Building HMI: No start page specified for the HMI application".
Ok, I had one more look into the manual and realized, what you mean with the Navigation Editor. I don’t know why, but this tab doesn’t exist in my program. Instead of this there is a tab called „Resources“ next to the tags as shown in the manuals. In this tab I can see all used variables in the different pages, but there is not this navigation net.
We have had reports of similar behaviour (e.g. missing Navigation tab) in cases where a project has been upgraded from an earlier version of PLCnext Engineer.
In those cases the problem could be solved by replacing the controller in the PLCnext Engineer project with a different one, and then replacing the controller again with the original controller type.
Please let us know if this solves the problem.
