Custom Views
A custom view in EVA Netmodeler is a customised user view or set of functionality. It is effectively code stored in the repository and interpreted at run time. Custom views are accessed from Custom Menus, to which they can be
related. Defining custom views requires a knowledge of programming, web interfaces and the underlying EVA Netmodeler application programming interface (API). Custom views can be added to EVA Netmodeler at any time without any
need for compilation and without stopping the server. They thus serve as an excellent mechanism for easy and quick extension of the tool. Custom views can also be used to create completely unique, user defined, interfaces with
a very different look and feel to the standard EVA Netmodeler interface. Using this feature, you can create custom portals using EVA Netmodeler as a back end server and repository and/or embed live EVA Netmodeler knowledge in
user defined web sites and intranets. Combining this capability with the anonymous user capability allows users to be provided with content from the EVA Netmodeler knowledge base without ever seeing the EVA Netmodeler tool or a
logon screen. They may experience it as seamless content in a familiar web site.
A number of "standard" custom views that provide useful capabilities and good examples are provided with the tool.
