Creating a browser view

The browser view invokes the browser that comes with Tivoli Enterprise Portal so that you can open web pages and web applications in the workspace. When saved with the workspace, the browser view opens with the workspace at the URL used when it was saved.

Before you begin

This feature requires your user ID to have Workspace Author Mode permission.

About this task

The Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal integrated browser uses little memory and provides basic browser functionality. It does not have many of the extended features that come with some external browsers. To add a browser view to the current workspace:

Procedure

  1. If you want the view to occupy a new pane, click Split vertical icon Split Vertically or Split horizontal icon Split Horizontally in one of the views.
    The pane divides and a duplicate is created. If you split the Navigator, the new view is empty.
  2. Click Browser iconBrowser.
    The mouse pointer changes to the view icon (hand icon on Linux). If you get the wrong icon or decide not to add the view, press Escape or click somewhere in the toolbar.
  3. Click inside the view where you want the browser.
    After you click, the old view is replaced by the browser.
  4. In the Location text box, type the URL of the web page to open.
