<\/a><\/p>\nPages<\/h3>\n
Explorer has two types of pages: those that have been custom-designed in Studio, and those that already exist: Tag Details, Attribute Details and Calculation Details.<\/p>\n
Designed displays can be private (for example, a basic page built by a user), or they can be published and part of a set of pages.<\/p>\n
Trends<\/h3>\n
Trends can be built and saved, and users can also create their own trends.<\/p>\n
Tag and Hierarchy Navigators<\/h3>\nPage and Trend Navigation<\/h2>\n
Users can navigate to pages or trends in a number of ways:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Link to a page or trend from a page (through hyperlinks, hotspots, and other linking controls)<\/li>\n
- Using workspace navigation, where pages and trends are logically grouped into different workspaces<\/li>\n
- URLs that can be opened within the Explorer framework, or on their own in the browser<\/li>\n
- Embedded pages and trends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Note:<\/strong> Workspaces can be secured so that only certain user groups have access to them. Use this to restrict access to users.<\/p>\n
Pages can be designed in Studio, or they can be part of Explorer: Tag Details, Attribute Details and Calculation Details.<\/p>\n
Where to Start<\/h2>\n
Planning<\/h3>\n
Your Explorer environment can consist of one or two pages and trends, right up to dozens or more. If you anticipate a large set of pages and trends, you can plan navigation and draw up some page designs.<\/p>\n
When planning which pages and trends to include, consider who the end-users are, and how you can use a single page to show many views:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Partition the work into workspaces. This is partly to organise the different layouts, and also allows you to restrict layouts to various user groups.<\/li>\n
- Make use of context-sensitivity. Pages and trends can change context when a user selects different entities from the Hierarchy Navigator.<\/li>\n
- Use controls on the pages. Users can change the page context by selecting from controls on the pages. For example, selecting a different date period, or viewing a page at Area level, and then at Region level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
