Frame Setup

A Frame contains Plug-ins, which are Dashboard components used to display information. The Frame contains the Plug-ins and dictates how users interact with those Plug-ins.

In Lucity Web, frames are generally divided into two columns. However, there are also Span Frames (commonly used with reports) that extend across two columns.

Open the Dashboard and the Dashboard Tab to which you would like to add a Frame.
Click the Enter Design Mode button.
Click the Add Frame button at the bottom of the Dashboard Tab. The following pop-up appears:
Select Create a New Frame.
Click OK. A new Frame is added to the Dashboard Tab and the Edit menu appears on the right.
Enter a Name for the tab.
Complete other fields as desired.
Click OK.
Add Plug-ins as desired.

Open the Dashboard and the Dashboard Tab to which you would like to add a Frame.
Click the Enter Design Mode button.
Click the Add Frame button at the bottom of the Dashboard Tab. The following pop-up appears:
Select Copy Another Frame. The tool expands and asks for the location of the Frame you want to copy.
Select whether the Frame belongs to another User, is a Shared Tab, or is in a Shared Tab Group.
Continue to make selections until you have located the Frame that you want to copy.
Click OK. The program makes a copy of the Frame and places it in the current Dashboard Tab.

Open the Dashboard Tab that contains the frame you would like to edit.
Click the Enter Design Mode button.
Click the Edit Properties button on the Frame you want to edit. The Edit Frame dialog appears:
Modify the settings as desired.
Click Save.


Name		Indicates the name of the Frame, as it is displayed in the Dashboard.
Span Frame		Indicates that the Frame should span the entire width of the Dashboard Tab page. By default, Frames are only half as wide as the page, allowing two Frames to appear side by side. The Span Frame option is useful in displaying reports.
Open in Desktop instead of Web		Gives users the option to open the data displayed through the Frame's Plug-ins in Lucity Desktop. By default, Plug-ins open in Lucity Web.
	Visible on Web	Indicates that the Frame should appear on the Lucity Web Dashboard.
	Visible on Mobile	Indicates that the Frame should appear on the Lucity Mobile Dashboard. This icon only appears if the frame is set to appear on a Lucity Mobile Dashboard in Online mode and not Offline mode.
	Mobile Offline Support	Indicates that the Frame should work in Lucity Mobile's offline mode. This preference tells the system to cache frame data on the tablet so that users have access to it when they are not connected to the network. This icon appears in place of the icon if the frame is set to appear on a Lucity Mobile Dashboard in Online mode and Offline mode. Note: When marked the program will automatically consider any views attached to any data drills to be offline available as well.
	Show in Plugin Webmap	Appears on a Frame if a webmap plugin is present on the same dashboard tab. When toggled the frame will open data from data drills, quick lookups, and asset heirarchy trees in the webmap plug-in on the same dashboard tab.
