User interface
Abiquo UI requires a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768 for productive work. It is based on HTML 5 and you must use browsers that support the next HTML 5 features:
- Forms block
- Drag and drop
The infrastructure map uses Google Maps and the Google Maps Javascript v3 API. See How to Obtain and Install a Google Maps API Key.
For platforms that are isolated or do not require Google Maps, it can be disabled in the Abiquo UI.
