Using the WebModeler
This document provides an overview of the WebModeler user interface along with best practice for getting started.
The WebModeler's design interface is divided into three tabs - Interface, Screens, and Widgets. A web interface is configured using the Settings pane.
Interface Tab
When you first open the WebModeler, the Interface tab is open by default. Here you can define high-level settings for your web interface, for example a name, a description, or an icon.
The left-hand pane looks like this:
| User Interface Element | Number | Description |
 |
 |
Saves the changes you make to the web interface. Only after clicking this icon are you able to preview the current implementation of your web interface. |
 |
Cancels all changes made to the web interface since you last saved it. | |
 |
Retrieves the web interface as it is currently stored on the DigitalSuite server. | |
 |
Open the Settings pane to manage the web interface's settings and configure any API listeners. | |
 |
Opens a dialog for editing the process to be launched by the web interface. If you select a process from another project, it will be imported into your current project. | |
 |
Opens a dialog for selecting a previously uploaded image available on the DigitalSuite platform. The image will be used as a thumbnail for the application on the homepage. Similarly, the second image icon opens a dialog for selecting an image to be used as a favicon for the application. |
Screens Tab
When the Screens tab is open, the left-hand pane looks like this:
| User Interface Element | Number | Description |
 |
|
Enter a name for your screen. The first screen is usually the launch screen and its ID is 0. Please note that you can re-order the screens to reflect their order in the process by using drag-and-drop on their names. |
|
Allows you to add another screen, the new screen will be a copy of the current screen. | |
|
Deletes the current screen. |
Widgets Tab
The Widgets tab offers a range of widgets that you can use to design your web interface. The widgets can be dragged onto the stage in the right-hand pane. Find more information about each widget in our Widget Types document.
| Number | Description |
|---|---|
|
Click a category of widgets to browse (simple, container, images, etc.). |
|
Enter the name or a keyword for a widget to find it quickly. |
|
Here you can browse the icons of all widgets that belong to the currently chosen category (in the example, the category is Simple Widgets). Choosing a different category can be done at point 1. Use drag and drop to add a widget to your screen. |
|
When clicking a widget with a small triangle at the bottom right-hand corner, a list of widgets of the same type is displayed. Hovering over an icon displays the name of the respective widget. |
|
When hovering over a widget located on your screen, you are offered a range of actions, e.g. viewing the widget's settings. |
|
Displays a page for designing a menu to be added to your web interface/application. |
 |
