Fields

The dialog has two tabs: View and External Link.

View

• View Type: Free Placement or Fixed Placement; see the explanation below. Appears only when you create a new view.

• Empty View or Start from Template: Choose whether to start with an empty view or from a template. If you select Start from Template, choose the template from the Select a Template list. Appears only when you create a new view.

• Name: The name of the view.

• Set as default view: The view opens by default when you enter the building.

External Link

Use this tab when you want the menu item to open an external website instead of a view.

• Name: The name of the link.

• Link URL: the full address of the website, for example https://evolo.no. The link opens in a new tab.

Select the correct view type

When you create a view, you can choose between two types:

Free placement

Use free placement when you want to place elements freely on a canvas.

This works well for:

• floor plans

• process diagrams

• technical overviews

Fixed Placement

Use fixed positioning when you want to create a view with a fixed layout.

This is well suited for:

• dashboards

• card-based views

• standardized layouts across builds

Choose how you want to get started

When you create the view, you can choose:

• Blank View
  Start with a blank view.

• Start from a template
  Starts with an existing template.

Assign the view to a menu

Drag and drop the view into the desired menu
