Creating a HTML Page DataPage

The HTML Page DataPage is a container for your HTML code. HTML Pages are very useful for displaying messages such as “Submission successful” or “Update received” after a web form is submitted. They can also be used to add a menu system or opening screen to your application.

 

HTML Page DataPages can be password protected through Web User Authentication. As a result, you can build a login page that opens to a menu or content page instead of loading a form or report.

 

HTML Page DataPages are easy to create. Just copy and paste your own HTML source code into the provided panel. Any links to externally hosted images or resources must include the complete URL of the file.
