Using Lobby Pages

Explanation

A Lobby page consists of a number of elements. There are different types of elements, some display information from IFS Applications in e.g. counters, lists or graphs and some contain links to web pages/files. You simply click on an element to navigate to related page. If it’s connected to information in IFS Applications the page will be populated with the relevant data.

Use the Lobby Overview page to find all existing Lobby pages and select which page you want to use.

Using Lobby Overview

The Lobby Overview page contains a list of all existing Lobby Pages. A search filter is available in the upper right hand corner. Use this to search for Lobby Pages, e.g.: type "Cus Ord" to search for pages called "Customer Orders". The Pages' Name, Title, Author and Keywords are searchable.

Double click on a page to open it or use the Goto Page button at the bottom of the page.
