Page Folder

Resource

The Page Folder resource is a child of the Site resource that can be created, named, and configured by users. It can also be manipulated by copy-paste and drag-and-drop processes. This folder should be named so that it reveals its function, since this name will appear in the browser at run-time.

Note that the Page Folder must contain formflow pages (see Formflow Page). If it is empty, a warning is given to validate the resource.

Configuration

The Configuration tab has the following fields.

Field

Description

Name

The label for the resource in TIBCO Designer.

Description

Short description of the resource.

Include in Navigation

The attribute Include In Navigation is defined such as the following:

Checkbox is selected. In this case, the Page Folder will be included in the navigation bar. If you select the Page Folder, you will see all formflow pages that have their attribute Include In Navigation set to true.

Checkbox is not selected. In this case, the Page Folder will not appear in the navigation bar. All formflow pages inside this folder will be invisible even if some of them have their attributes Include In Navigation set to true. Users can still get the specific formflow if they type the URL into the browser such as the following:

•

If the formflow page is inside the Page Folder, type http://server:port/TIBCOpps/tibco/FormBuilderDesktop/site/FormBuilder_Desktop_name/Folder_name/Page_name

•

If the Formflow Page is not inside the Page Folder, type http://server:port/TIBCOpps/tibco/FormBuilderDesktop/site/FormBuilder_Desktop_name/Page_name

Pages

Shows the pages contained in this folder. To set a default page, click on the Select icon .

Access Control

The Access Control tab has the following field:.

Field

Description

Allow Guest Access

Select or clear this checkbox to allow or disallow access by guests (users who will not log into FormBuilder Desktop).

Allow Guest Access is Selected In this case, the Page Folder has guest access and any guest will be able to run formflows with guest-access inside that Page Folder. To run access-controlled formflows inside that Page Folder, a user needs to log in.

The FormBuilder Desktop will appear such as the following:

•

For a guest user, the Page Folder (with guest-access) will be visible with the guest-accessible formflow1 inside. The access-controlled formflow2 will not be visible. The user will be able to run formflow1 but not formflow2.

•

For an authenticated user, the Page Folder (with guest-access) will be visible with the guest accessible formflow1 and the access controlled formflow2. The user will be able to run both formflows.

Allow Guest Access is Not Selected In this case, the Page Folder is access-controlled and any guest will be able to run formflows with guest-access inside that Page Folder. To run access controlled formflows inside that Page Folder, a user needs to log in.

As opposed to the case when Allow Guest Access is selected, the FormBuilder Desktop will appear such as the following:

•

For guest user, the Page Folder (which is access-controlled) will be invisible. Therefore, both the guest accessible formflow1 and the access controlled formflow2 will be also invisible. If this guest user types directly the Page Folder’s URL in the browser, such as
http://server:port/TIBCOpps/tibco/FormBuilderDesktop/site/FormBuilder_Desktop_name/Folder_name/formflow1, they will be able to run the guest accessible formflow1. They won't be able to run the access controlled fomrflow2 even if they type the Page Folder URL in their browser, and will be asked to log in first.

•

For an authenticated user, the Page Folder (which is access-controlled) is visible with both formflows, the guest accessible formflow1 and access controlled formflow2, and the user will be able to run both formflows.
