WIND
NEW GWT WIND > Layout
Layout

The WIND editor opens in a new browser window (or browser tab, depending on your browser make and configuration) containing the WIND Application. 

By default, the WIND Editor opens as shown below:

 

1 User & View

The User field displays the username with which you have logged in to the Portal.

The View field tells you which view is currently selected. By default, if you will not already have created a new View or opened an existing one, it will be set to 'published'. This means that the WIND content is displayed to you as it is currently published on the Portal.

The View concept is developed here.

2 Menu Bar

The Menu Bar features two options: View Management and Trees.

The View menu reveals five commands, Validate and align, Publish, Goto, Manage... and Transfer...

View Management

The View Management menu presents all operations in relation with the Views. Get more details on these commands here.

Trees

The Trees menu currently reveals a single commands: Refresh Data.

  • The Refresh Data command will cause the window to reload and display any changes occurred to the status of the elements displayed in the current tree.

3 Navigation Tree

The Navigation Tree is divided in two 'Accordion' type sections, each one with its own purpose:

  1. The Typed tree groups all the WIND entities by type - this is the 'logical' way the Portal content is grouped. However, you might not wish to see all of these elements, or see them in another way better fitting your own needs...
  2. The Files resources tree holds all the resources (images, imports of all sorts, ...) in a structured file system. Here also, you can create you own folders and subfolders, import and manage external files to be used within or linked to from the Portal.

4 Resize Handle

Drag the Resize Handle left or right to expand or narrow the Navigation Tree.

5 Main Display

This is where the WIND entities will open.
