# Deploy a Smart View

## Explanation

In order for building users to view the Smart View, you must deploy the Smart View. 

A Smart View is deployed by opening a link to the Smart View in a web browser.

The end device must have a screen and access to the internet. If the end device has a touchscreen, the audience can interact with the presented content.

## Procedure

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/Nyvwhz1kEMXcHf4HLuZ8/blobs/ZXz5D1j188K4McTQshig/52921E92-54D9-4818-A1C5-2EFFCB6904AF.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Proceed as follows:

1. Open the menu [-> Configure Smart View](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/smart-views/configure-a-smart-view) on
2. Click on **\[O]**\
   ▷ The URL of the Smart View is copied to the clipboard
3. Open the copied URL in a web browser\
   ▷ The deployed Smart View is displayed

## Restrict access

You can restrict access to a deployed Smart View.&#x20;

In this case, valid login data must be entered before a deployed Smart View can be viewed.

To do this, activate the option **\[N]**

## Update Smart View

If you make changes to a Smart View, these changes are not automatically applied to the Smart View displayed in the web browser.

You have 2 options for updating the deployed Smart View.

### Manually

1. Reload the Smart View in the browser.

### Via [↗ Slider group](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/smart-views/slider-groups)

As a workaround, you can emulate an automatic update of the Smart View. To do this, add the same Smart View twice to a slider group. Each time you switch between the two views, the latest version of the view is loaded.
