This content describes the WebFOCUS Designer, a web-based development tool that you can use to create interactive, responsive
pages and meaningful InfoApps, using content that you or other members of your organization create. The WebFOCUS Designer
features the integrated filter control capability that enables you to create instant compelling applications. Other features
include interactive canvas, responsive grid layout, simplified resources tree, and new intuitive ways of adding content to
a page.
Key Features
The following key features are introduced in
Release 8.2.04:
-
Repository Widgets. Two repository widgets, Explorer and Link Tile,
allow you to display and navigate content differently and with more
options. The Explorer widget allows you to put the WebFOCUS
Explorer onto your page and use the WebFOCUS Home Page features to
navigate your content. The Link tile widget allows you to arrange
content in such a way that one content item becomes a click-through
tile that opens another content item. This feature is especially
useful when you need to incorporate a large or Insight-enabled item
into a page and display it on all devices.
-
Hiding Content from
Devices. You can now choose to hide
certain items from smaller devices. This feature is useful when
dealing with large or multi-faceted items like maps and
visualizations. Content visibility on devices is controlled by the
Show On property, which you configure in the Properties
panel.
-
Info Mode. You can click the Info Mode button in the WebFOCUS
Designer toolbar to enable the information mode. This mode changes
the view of all content items on the canvas to display their paths
in the repository and parameters configured within these
items.
-
ID and Classes
Properties. From the Properties panel,
you can access the ID and Classes properties. The ID property
contains a read-only unique CSS identifier of the object that is
currently selected on the canvas. You can reference this value in
custom JavaScript and CSS code. The Classes property allows you to
add one or more custom CSS classes that you can reference in custom
JavaScript and CSS code.
-
Section Row Height. You can change the height of the section that is
currently selected on the canvas by configuring the Row Height
property in the Properties panel. This feature is especially useful
when creating pages with precise UI/UX requirements.
