Inserting web extensions

Web extensions are Javascript objects that can be embedded into reports. They can provide, for example, enhanced data visualizations, selection options, and controls in web-based reports. Web extensions are not displayed in the Application Studio full client.

Web extensions interact with the reports in which they are embedded through actions. All actions that can be defined on cells support the Web Extension mode.

See Action modes.

Web extensions are stored in the Repository.

Instructions for creating web extensions are beyond the scope of this document.

To insert a web extension:

  1. Click Web Extension on the Objects toolbar.
  2. Click the web extension to insert and click OK.
  3. Click a cell and drag the mouse pointer to select the range of cells to be occupied by the web extension.
  4. Double-click the web extension to open its Object Properties dialog.
    The options and parameters specified by the designer of the web extension are displayed on the General tab of Object Properties dialog. The options vary between different extensions. However, the Appearance and Availability tabs are common to list objects and other objects.
