The following is a list of the forms that were developed for general use within a page.
The Announcement form allows you to post time-sensitive information to your user population. An example of an announcement form is on the Home Page titled News and Features.
From the Announcement form, you can add, edit and delete announcements. The announcements form allows you to enter a title, description, associated links, expiration date and rank within the announcement list.
The Contacts form allows you to enter basic user information related to their email, phone etc.
The Discussion form allows for online "conversations" in a standard web based forum. Users may add a new thread or topic for discussion. Each thread appears as a collapsible section. For existing discussions, users may reply to the first response, or subsequent responses, with each consecutive round being indented. Discussion threads cannot be deleted.
The Documents form allows users to manage a list of posted documents. Users with edit rights can click Add to present the document form. On the document form users can enter in a) document name, document "tab", b) enter in a version comment, and c) choose either to insert a URL or upload a file to the database. If users select the browse button they can attach a document from their hard drive. This form may be updated (written to the database), canceled (abort the edit) or deleted (removes document from database).
The Events form allows you to manage time-based activities. The form allows you to add event details and the date of the event.
The FAQ form allows you to post information in a question and answer format. The FAQ module is utilized in several places including the Home tab.
The HTML form allows you to input a single HTML page into the edit form. This page renders the HTML upon viewing. The form can be updated or canceled. To edit you can revisit and change html. Users will be instructed to enter valid text and html to ensure that this module presents correctly.
The Image form allows you to access a single image on a file server and render this image in the form . You place an image in a directory, then via the form, define a virtual path within the system, and specify the width and height. If an image is not loaded the 'missing image icon' will appear.
The Links form allows you to manage a series or list of web-based hyperlinks. You title each link, describe its contents, insert a URL, and determine its order in the list of hyperlinks.
The parameterized reports form displays a list of parameterized reports in a single form. For further information on parameterized reports see Reporting.
The Quick Links form is very similar to the Links form and can be considered interchangeable. It allows you manage a series or list of web-based hyperlinks. You title each link, describe its contents, insert a URL, and determine its top to bottom sequence via its view order.
The Report List form allows report lists to be inserted into the existing Reports page or new other pages in the Governance Portal. The ability to add new report lists provides project teams with a way to flexibly arrange the end-users reporting experience. For example, reports can be split between dashboard reports and more textual reports, as has been done in the Governance Portal's default state. Once a Report List has been added to a tab, individual Crystal reports can be added to the list through a combination of storing the Crystal .rpt file on the server and entering appropriate report / sub report attributes through the user interface.
The searches contained in the Governance Portal are driven from database views created in the SQL environment. While the addition of new searches is not an end-user experience, the Search List form is available in the system so that Protiviti can add custom searches to the system over time or upon request, without requiring changes to the code base.
The User Report Module allows reports to be inserted into areas of the Governance Portal. These reports will display only results/data for the user generating the report (i.e. the report is filtered for the select user).
Allows you to insert XML into a page
