Gateway navigation bars offer an alternative to the standard navigation bars.\u00a0 They have some alternative and additional features.\u00a0 First they are vertical on the screen, as opposed to horizontal.\u00a0 Secondly, you can set up entry points into any stored personal or shared Home Page, or personal or shared Workspace.<\/p>\n

In addition, the user (as well as the administrator) has control of being able to set up additional links, either to other sites within their organization, or other ExtraView sites.\u00a0 They may also add reports to their Gateway navigation bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

<\/td>\n

The Gateway navigation bar configuration is very similar to configuring the standard navigation bar.<\/p>\n

To configure the Gateway navigation bar, undertake these steps, and refer to the above section on how to add and remove links from the navigation bar.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It is recommended to be a user with full administrative access before configuring this feature and to make sure your user is residing in the admin role<\/li>\n
  2. The feature is initially disabled.\u00a0 You must turn on the security permission key named MENU_GATEWAY for the user roles who will have permission to use the feature<\/li>\n
  3. If you want to use the default Gateway navigation buttons named\u00a0Gateway Navigation (not modifiable)<\/strong>, this step is not required.\u00a0 To create your own Gateway navigation bar, click the Add button and ensure you select the navigation bar type of\u00a0Gateway<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Add the appropriate buttons to your navigation bar.\u00a0 These buttons are different from the standard navigation bar:
    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Button name<\/td>\nSecurity Permission Key<\/td>\nPurpose<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Personal Home Pages<\/td>\nEV_PRIVATE_HOMEPAGE_BTN<\/td>\nThis button allows access to all the personal Home Pages you have saved<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Personal Workspaces<\/td>\nEV_PRIVATE_WORKSPACE_BTN<\/td>\nThis button allows access to all the personal Workspaces you have saved<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Shared Home Pages<\/td>\nEV_PUBLIC_HOMEPAGE_BTN<\/td>\nThis button allows access to all the shared Home Pages you have saved<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Shared Workspaces<\/td>\nEV_PUBLIC_WORKSPACE_BTN<\/td>\nThis button allows access to all the shared Home Pages you have saved<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Search<\/td>\nMENU_EV_SEARCH_BTN
    \nMENU.EV_SEARCH_BTN<\/td>\n    		Provides a search field on the Gateway navigation bar<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/li>\n
  5. The default for the permission keys is that the buttons will be visible when they are placed on the Gateway navigation bar.\u00a0 You may turn any of these off, if they are not required in your installation, for any role<\/li>\n
  6. If you want to make the Gateway navigation the default for all new users you create, alter the value of the behavior setting named DEFAULT_START_PAGE to\u00a0Gateway<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Within each user’s account screen they may alter their\u00a0Start Page\u00a0<\/strong>to a value of\u00a0Gateway\u00a0<\/strong>if they wish to use the Gateway as their primary interface<\/li>\n
  8. You may enable a search box on the Gateway navigation bar.\u00a0 This search box requires read and write permission to the security keys named\u00a0 MENU.EV_SEARCH_BTN and MENU_EV_SEARCH_BTN and you must place the Search button on the layout for the Gateway Navigation Bar<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note that if an end user creates a Personal Link to a second ExtraView installation, then an access token is granted to the user for a period of time.\u00a0 Upon setting up the link the user is asked to authenticate their access credentials on the second site.\u00a0 This provides the link with a token using the OAuth2 protocol, so that the user’s password does not need to be passed between sites for an unexpired token.<\/p>\n

    One point to be aware of is that the OAuth2 protocol is only specified to work with https connections, not with http.\u00a0 However, if you or your users want to take advantage of a redirect configured within the web server, from http to https, then this is allowable, as long as the remainder of the address is the same.\u00a0 For security reasons, ExtraView will not allow a redirect from an address on one domain to a different domain.<\/p>\n

    The time for which the token is valid is defined in the behavior setting named\u00a0OAUTH2_TOKEN_LIFETIME_SECONDS.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
