Apps

In Aeneis, there are Aeneis apps, such as the WebModeller and SystemAdministration, which you use to model or configure content in the Portal or perform database configurations, and there are Apps, such as Risk Management and Audit Management, which map specific topics in the Portal and in which you record topic-specific data. For Apps, you can create an App report component in the Apps area of the SystemAdministration under the portal structure, which you can use to configure subviews in the Portal with their own navigation area, homepage, and views. There you can configure the views of the Apps, such as Risk Management. You can also create the App report component in portal reports in the navigation to configure your own views with your own content.

Configure App

You can create Apps in the SystemAdministration in the Apps area under an App in the Portal structure entry and configure them via their properties. All Apps configured there can be opened in the Portal via the App drawer. To also be able to open these Apps in the Portal via the navigation bar, reference the App you configured under Portal structure in the Portal 7 report under Navigation.

If you want to create your own Apps for the Portal, you can create and configure them in the Portal 7 report under Navigation. You can then open them in the Portal via the navigation bar.

In an App, you can configure both the navigation and the homepage itself. Within the navigation you can create the following components:

• Dashboard: Views in which specific data is evaluated and displayed.

• Navigation entry: Entry in the navigation bar in the Portal via which a specific object or view can be opened.

• Navigation group: Entry in the navigation bar that is used to group other entries in the navigation. You can create additional Apps within a navigation group. These Apps within an App have their own homepage and content, but no navigation.

• Subheading: Heading in the navigation bar that serves for better orientation and for grouping further elements in the navigation.

You can configure the following components for the App homepage:

• Quickstart box: Tiles that offer the most important actions on the App homepage.

• Diagram box: Diagrams, dashboard graphs and column charts displayed on the App homepage.

• Report box: Report components that evaluate and display content.
