WebFOCUS Designer is a web-based development tool that you can use to quickly and easily create content from your data and use that content to create pages, within a single visualization or by assembling multiple distinct content items into a separate visualization. You can manage your data using data flows and use that data to create charts, reports, and interactive and responsive pages, all in one place.
You can add items to Favorites from any domain or folder if you have permission to do so.
To designate an item as a Favorite, right-click the item, and click Add to Favorites.
To remove an item as a Favorite, right-click the item and click Remove Favorite.
If you right-click the item from the Home Page, you can select from the following options, depending on file type:
You are not required to save items to Favorites to view them on mobile devices since the Home Page is optimized for viewing on mobile devices and automatically adjusts to a smaller screen or browser width. There are several interface and functionality changes that occur when you switch from the full view to the mobile view.
You can create and share a URL to your Favorites, allowing you or other users to access your Favorites directly.
In a desktop or mobile browser, type the address below.
http://server:port/ibi_apps/favorites

Aside from the default templates that WebFOCUS Designer offers, you can create custom templates that reflect your unique layout. They are a great way to add structural variation or highly customized layouts to your page. Custom templates are also useful for organizations that have a set style for all of their pages. You must have administrator access to WebFOCUS to deploy custom templates.
You can translate pages created in WebFOCUS Designer to reflect a specific language preference. This localization includes text strings shown in the page heading, container titles and control labels.
When working with Western European languages you may leave the WebFOCUS client code page and your application server JVM file encoding set to their default values of 1252/ Cp1252. If you plan to support double-byte languages, such as Japanese or Chinese, you must use Unicode/UTF-8 for the WebFOCUS code page and UTF8 for the JVM file encoding.
You can create pages in WebFOCUS Designer that you can add to a portal or portal page to share with other users in your organization. Additionally, pages that you create in WebFOCUS Designer can be run as content items from the Home Page or directly from a browser. You can share a WebFOCUS Designer page as a stand-alone repository resource or a URL.
In WebFOCUS Designer, you can create interactive pages or InfoApps, using content that you create in InfoAssist as well as images and URLs to external content. You can also add content to these pages using content that was created by another user in your organization. You can access the content that is available to you from the Content tab in the Resource Selector.
After creating a page in WebFOCUS Designer, you can edit it at any time, in one of the following ways:
A number of tools in WebFOCUS Designer support your efforts to apply pages styling. You can resize content, hide content from smaller devices if it interferes with a responsive layout, edit page, section and container properties, apply filters, themes and styles, and create custom templates.
As an alternative to pre-defined content, you can enable users to customize content at run time, which can make portal pages more engaging, useful, and interactive. With this feature you can also control which items users can access, by assigning a specific path to the Add content button in the Properties panel. This feature can be used with panel, tab, carousel, and accordion containers. If you enable this feature on a multi-content container, the Add content button automatically appears on every new tab, slide, or area.
