What is a (Computer Software) Panel?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A (Computer Software) panel is "a particular arrangement of information grouped together for presentation to users in a window or pop-up."

How do (Computer Software) Panels relate to the Tygron Engine?

Release Notes Panel from Editor

One way Panels are implemented in the Tygron Engine is to use panels to provide information. A Panel as such is the Release Notes Panel. These panels are mostly aimed at the editor role. The other way panels are implemented in the Tygron Engine, are so called 'User Panels' in the Editor. These panels are implemented by the editor role in the project and are aimed at the end user role of the project, not the editor role. This article describes the implementation of the so called 'User panels'. The Editor with its panels is described here.

Different types of Panels (Editor)

Panels for users to implement in their project, come in different flavors; Single Panels and Template Panels. There are also Tools available for managing/ editing panels.

Single Panels

Single panels are panels that need to be created each instance of the panel. These panels contain plain text, an URL to a web page, or even calculations based on a spread sheet.

Excel Panel

Tip: To implement calculation models through an excel in the engine, it is possible to create an excel panel without actually displaying this panel. See also: Calculation Models.

Template panels

Single panels are panels that are created once, and then reused for every other equal situation.
