User Interface Designs with Views

The views in the Designer can be used to create different types of user interface designs.

User Interface with Tabbed Views

If you want to visualize different components of your user interface on different tab cards, you can create a user interface with tabbed views. For this you need to add additional views and the "Tab View" widget to your design. Each view can be customized individually and will be displayed in its own tab card in the Frontend.

The chapter Creating a User Interface with Tabbed Views contains a detailed step by step description how to create this kind of user interface.

The design with tabbed views is especially useful if you want to control the access permissions for specific parts of the user interface. You can define individual access rights for different user groups and each view in the Frontend. To get more detailed information how to define access rights for user groups, please refer to the chapter Setting up the User Management.

User Interface with a Dialog Window

If you want to visualize some components of your user interface in a new window, you can create a user interface with a dialog window. For this you need to add an additional view that defines the content of the window as well as the "Dialog Button" widget. In the Frontend the user has the possibility to open the dialog window by clicking on the inserted button.

The chapter Creating a User Interface with a Dialog Window contains a detailed step by step description how to create this kind of user interface.
