Applications Tab

There are three types of applications that can be created with SpreadsheetWEB:

• Web Applications are the default applications that you can create from an spreadsheet. Web applications captures user interface and calculation logic in your spreadsheet. They can also collect user data (transactions) through database integration.
• Web Services are used when another application need to communicate with a spreadsheet to use its calculation algorithm.
• Dashboard Reports are interactive data visualization applications. They can be tied to the database of an existing data collection web application. Alternatively, you can import any data to SpreadsheetWEB and build a report.

All applications are listed in a table. If you have more web applications than can be listed on a single page, the table will be spread out over several pages.

Change the name of an application

To change the name of a web application, go to the applications tab and browse to the web application you wish to edit and in the same row click the button. A new page will appear with a table showing the current settings of your web application. In the top row, simply overwrite the existing web application name and then click save at the bottom of the page. 

Update the Excel spreadsheet that is attached to an application

To update the Excel spreadsheet that is linked to an application, go to the applications tab and browse to the application you wish to edit and in the same row click the button. A new page will appear with a table showing the current settings of your application.

In the second row it says Excel spreadsheet. Here you can simply upload a new Excel spreadsheet. Important: only Excel spreadsheets that prior to uploading have been processed with the SpreadsheetWEB Wizard can be used here. That means that if you have changed anything in the Excel file, you need to convert the file again using the SpreadsheetWEB wizard, save and close the file before you can upload it. 

Assign an application to a group of users

To assign an application to a user group, it is required that you have already created a user group. The steps to create a new user group will be explained farther in the document.
Assigning an application to a group of users can be done while adding an application or at any time afterward.
If you already have an application that you want to assign to a group, please go to the applications tab, then browse to the web application you wish to edit and in the same row click the button. A new page will appear with a table showing the current settings of your web application. Go down to the row where it says Add to group(s) and select the group that you want your web application to be assigned to. When you are done, click save. 

Restrict access to an application

Restricting access to an application is a multiple-step process.

1. It is required that you have created a group.
2. At least one user must be assigned to that group.
3. Access must be changed to restricted.
4. The web application must be assigned to the same group.

For step 3 and 4, click the applications tab in the navigation menu. From the list of web application, find the one that you want to restrict access from and click the button in the same row. On the next page, please go to the row where it says Access and activate the option button next to restricted. To assign the web application to a group, go to Add to group farther down in the table and select a group from the combo box. 

Change the online/offline status of an application

To change the online/offline status of a web application, click the applications tab in the navigation menu and browse to the application you wish to edit and in the same row click the button. A new page will appear with a table showing the current settings of your web application.
Go to Status and activate either the option button online, if you wish your application to be available on the web, or offline if you wish that your application is only stored in your account but not yet available for others on the web.
