7.6 Understanding Elements

Elements make up the content of your workspace forms and views.

When you are adding elements to a form, remember that you need to add that same element to the view in order for it to be displayed in the workspace.

You can add the following elements:

7.6.1 Workspace Form Elements

Attachment(s): Adds a field that enables you to browse for and upload files, making them accessible to those who view the workspace.

The files that you upload are displayed in the workspace home page.

Branding: Adds an HTML text editor that enables you to create a brand for the workspace.

This brand is displayed in the upper left corner of the workspace.

Description: Adds an HTML text editor that enables you to specify a description of the workspace.

File Upload: Adds a field that enables users to browse for and upload files.

HTML Editor Text Area: Adds an HTML text area where you can compose messages, create links, upload pictures, and more. The information that you create in this HTML editor is displayed in your folder.

Icon: Enables the workspace owner to choose from a selection of icons to represent the workspace.

Picture: Adds a field that enables you to browse for and upload pictures.

Remote Application: Enables you to choose a remote application to display.

Remote applications must be created and enabled for use by the Teaming administrator.

Title: Adds a field that enables you to specify a title for the workspace.

7.6.2 Workspace View Elements

Any form element that you create can be added as a view element, if you want it to appear in the view.

The following elements are specific to views; they cannot be added to a form.

Accessory Panel: Displays the Accessory Panel on the workspace home page. Users can use this panel to add community or personal accessories, depending on their individual rights.

For more information on accessories, see Managing Accessories in the Novell Teaming 2.1 User Guide.

Entry Creation Date: Displays the date that the entry was created.

Entry Creator: Displays who created the entry.

Entry Creator and Creation Date: Displays who created the entry and when they created it.

Landing Page Layout: Adds a landing page creation form that enables you to create landing page elements to display in your workspace.

You must add the Landing Page Layout layout option in the workspace add/modify form before you can add it as a view element.

Workspace and Folder List: Displays a workspace tree that contains the workspace and all sub-workspaces and sub-folders.

Title: On the workspace home page, displays the title that you specified for the workspace.

This is useful if you have hidden the main sidebar where the workspace tree normally resides.
