Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n

In IFS OI Explorer, the table of contents is a ribbon tab that appears when you click on an entity in the Hierarchy Navigator.<\/p>\n

The ribbon contains links to various pages, trends, or external sites. These links have been configured for templates to which your entity belongs. For example, all entities using the 'Oil Producing Well' template show this template's links on their table of contents: 'Daily Production Report', 'Oil Production', 'Well Trend', etc. If the selected entity has secondary templates, those templates' links are also shown on the ribbon tab.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\nPrimary Link<\/strong><\/td>\nThis opens the page, trend or URI assigned to the primary template's primary link.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nPage Links<\/strong><\/td>\nThe templates' Page links<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/td>\nTrend links<\/strong><\/td>\nThe templates' Trend links<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/td>\nURI Links<\/strong><\/td>\nThe templates' URI links<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

In the example shown above, the links have been separated into link groups: 'Production Operations', 'Help Links', and 'Templated Trends'.<\/p>\n

The Table of Contents Structure<\/h2>\n

The table of contents' underlying structure is maintained and stored in IFS OI Server Management.<\/p>\n

Links and Templates<\/h3>\n

Links and link groups are created in IFS OI Server Management, by a Server editor.<\/p>\n

A link can belong to a link group, which contains a broad description of the overall purpose of the links within the group.<\/p>\n

When a link has been created (with a name, possibly a link group, and a URL to a page, trend, or external site) it can be assigned to one or more templates. This is also done in Server Management.<\/p>\n

On the right side of this screenshot, you can see some of the links that have been assigned to a template, as configured in Server Management.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong> that a link can belong to more than one template.<\/p>\n

Templates and Entities<\/h3>\n

Also in IFS OI Server Management, an entity, which can belong to one or more hierarchies, is allocated a primary template, and optionally one or more secondary templates.<\/p>\n

The entity then takes on the characteristics of these templates, including attribute values and links.<\/p>\n

Below is an example showing the templates assigned to entity Archer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All of the links for all of these templates appear as buttons in Archer's table of contents on the Explorer ribbon.<\/p>\n
