- About Websheet Applications
Websheet applications are interactive web pages that combine text with data. You can define these highly dynamic applications in a number of ways. - Accessing Websheets
Users access a Websheet by loading the Websheet URL, logging in with their account credentials (username and password), and navigating to the Websheet page. - Using Websheets
The Websheet application interface contains various elements for quick navigation and robust text editing. - Managing Websheet Pages
You can add pages to a Websheet manually or copy existing pages. - Adding and Editing Page Sections
You can add new sections to a Websheet page with the Create menu and edit existing sections with the Edit button and Edit menu. - Adding and Editing Text Sections
You can create a Text section to add text to a Websheet page. You can type directly into a text section, or copy and paste content from a spreadsheet. - Adding a Navigation Section
Add dynamically generated navigation to subordinate pages or page sections by clicking New Section in the Create menu and create a Navigation section. - Managing Data Grids
Data grids are sets of data displayed in rows and columns. Data grids store data in a similar way to how spreadsheets store data. Once created, the structure can be modified as needed over time. - Adding and Editing Data Content
Add content to Websheets that is queried from your Oracle Database (such as data grids and reports). Note: this function requires your application’s developer to enable the Allow SQL attribute. - Adding Data Reports
Data reports are contributor defined queries on tables or views within the underlying Oracle Database. - Creating Data Sections Based on a Data Grid or Report
Add a data grid or data report to a Websheet with data sections. - Creating Chart Sections
You can create inline charts based upon a data grid or report. - Understanding Markup Syntax
You can use the following syntax for adding links to Websheet pages, page sections, external URLs, data grids, or for including SQL or SQLVALUE syntax. - Managing Annotations
Add commentary and additional details to a web sheet in annotations. - Managing Websheet Applications
From a Websheet, you can change your Websheet password, email a Websheet to another user, and print a Websheet. - Viewing Websheets
Use the options on the View menu to access presentation mode, view a page directory, access a page history, and view an application directory.
