AppBoard enables the builder to create unique and custom visualizations. In some case, it is desired to include Widgets that simply present existing web content from a URL. The Web Widget provides this functionality.


How To Create a Web Widget

For instructions on creating a Widget, see the general instructions in Adding Widgets. The Web Page Widget type is located under the Web category on the Widget selection screen.


How To Configure a Web Widget

  1. Follow the instructions above to create the basic "Web Page" Widget.
  2. Enter the following information on the Data tab:
    • URL: Enter a web address of the content to be displayed in the Web Widget.
    Example: http://www.edge-technologies.com
  3. Click Next to proceed to the Options tab.
  4. Enter the following information on the Options tab:
    1. [Optional] Configure the Show Help Option.
  5. Click Next to proceed to the Actions tab.
  6. Click Add Event Action to configure one or more Actions to be invoked when a user clicks on the Web Widget.
  7. Click Finish.
  8. In the Builder Modes panel, select Builder and navigate to the appropriate Board to observe the new Web Widget.

Streaming Video in a Wed Widget

Complete the following steps to configure the Web Widget to show streaming video:


  1. Follow the instructions from "How To Create a Web Widget" above to create the basic Web Widget.

Launch Contextual Content in a Web Widget

By combining AppBoard and enPortal, you can create special Widgets (called "Channels") that integrate web application GUIs. For a tutorial example of using an enPortal Channel to launch contextual content from an AppBoard Web Widget, see Launching an enPortal Channel from a Widget.


Display enPortal PIM Content in a Web Widget

enPortal PIMs provide out-of-the-box integration of web application GUIs. You may want to display an enPortal channel on a Board in AppBoard. For a tutorial example of using an enPortal Channel to display an integration application GUI in an AppBoard Web Widget, see Display PIM Content in a Web Widget.
