Panels are custom displays of iMIS data that you name, build, arrange in grids, and add to your site. Using panels, your users can browse, edit, add, and delete their data, as you specify:
Panels display within Panel iParts, which allows your users view and edit custom data on the broadest range of browser and platform types that iMIS supports. You can manage your custom data directly and conveniently from the web pages where you place these iParts:
■ Panel Editor (which creates panels and shows one panel)
■ Panel Collection Editor (which combines existing panels into tabbed displays)
You can configure the iParts to let your users add and edit that data directly from their browser page. You can import your existing user-defined tables (from iMIS Customizer) directly from the Panel Editor iPart configuration. In addition, your Activity table data is automatically available as a source, so that you can use and extend that data. Panel sources can include existing user-defined tables (defined in the UD_Table table) and user-defined sources (listed in the ObjectMetaData table).
Tip: Panels are shared: when you update one panel, it updates within every iPart that uses it.
