Adding a New Field (Webpart)
This feature allows you to customize the user interface of your applications in a quick way. What you have to do is just select the appropriate webpart depending on your purpose. Below before general info about how you can add new field is given and then detailed examples for fields that you can add are given.
- Click the Add Field button from the page menu. The Add Field combo menu will open.
- Select, double click on, a webpart from the drop down menu.
After selecting the webpart, different information fields will appear according to each webpart. Then fill required fields: information and definitions, and then press Save button. (An interactive chart was used, for the example below, see webparts for more examples )
The example interactive chart added to homepage looks like screen view given below, also note that location of webpart can be changed as you drag, squeeze or expand it. You can also edit its content from the edit button.
Important note
Some of the WebParts that are added to the home use an iframe structure. Therefore, if the link used in WebParts (link at query result, any link in specially prepared webpart, etc.) is selected as the target parent window (_parent), the page to be opened when link is clicked will be opened in the upper window. This process is contrary to Netigma's structure, so the top window (_parent) should not be used as the target in the links used in WebPart.
