Use the WebX Interface

This section applies if your system is not customized to use default views.

You can use the links on the database web page (see Browse your Database on a WebX Client) to access different levels of the database—the database web pages correspond to the various levels in the Database Bar tree-structure in ViewX (see Database Bar).

The Parent group links to the group above the item or page that you are viewing.

The Children group contains items that are part of the group that you are viewing, for example points or Mimics that are part of a group.

 

You can perform these actions on a WebX client:

• Follow a hyperlink—The mouse cursor will change to a pointing finger

  

  when it is over a hyperlink. Select the hyperlink. A new web page is opened, replacing the one that you were viewing.
• Move to the level above on the tree—Select the parent group hyperlink.
• Open a Group—Select the group name hyperlink.

 

The Web browser remembers the order in which you have viewed WebX pages. The browser should provide buttons that allow you to move back and forth between the pages that you have been viewing. For example, Windows® Internet Explorer® 7 allows you to:

• View the previous page by selecting the Back button

  

• Select the Forward button

  

  to reload the next page in your viewing sequence.
