User Interface Configuration

Orienteer provides adaptive UI, making Orienteer apps suitable for mobile devices.

##Configuring Perspectives

The administrator allocates perspectives available for each user role. To configure perspectives, in the menu on the left, click Perspectives (or go to URL /browse/OPerspective).

For a perspective, you can set:

  • Name: a localizable name of a perspective.
  • Icon: the name of an icon to be displayed (pick an icon name from Font Awesome project).
  • Home Url: the default page of the perspective.
  • Footer: a text area for html code that defines a common footer for all pages in a perspective.

For each perspective, you can add and delete sections to the menu on the left. Sections may have subsections in them. Sections have following attributes:

  • Perspective item: for subsections, this is the parent section on the menu.
  • Name: the name of the section that will show on the menu.
  • Perspective: a list of perspectives in which the section is present.
  • Icon: the icon that will show on the navigation pane along with the section's name. Set it similarly to the icon of the perspective.
  • Url: the page that shows when you click the section.
  • Sub items: subsections of the section.

Warning! If users don't see a page in their perspective, this doesn't prevent them from accessing a page over its URL. To restrict user access, configure the database security.
