Configuring the Start Page

  1. Open the Pages Section.

    The contents of this page depends on the robots associated to the Start Action. When no robots are associated, the page is empty. A robot can be added simply by clicking the 'Add Robots' area.

  2. To add a robot, click Add Robots area.

    the Add Start Action page appears.

  3. Use Add Start Robots to select a robot for the Action.
  4. Click Add New Robot.

    The selection page lists your available robots.

  5. To select a robot click a robot icon and then click Select Robot.

    A list the attributes of the input variables defined by the added robots appears. For each attribute the Kapplet Administrator can then decide whether a fixed value should be associated (and the field then hidden from the user) or it should give rise to an input field. For example, an added 'test' robot expects a single variable 'input' with two attributes - one of which is user input and the other is fixed.

    Note When you point to a robot name, you can see the path of the robot file.
  6. Click OK.

    The Kapplet Administrator returns to the Pages Section where the Start Page now shows an outline of the page that will be presented to Kapplet Users when they run the Kapplet.

  7. The Kapplet Administrator can also change the user experience by interacting with the outline, such as the page title, the order and labels of fields, and the start button label.
    Note The Pages Section also lists output types (if any) on the left hand side.
