Create Page

Pages in Akumen are anything you want them to be, from a simple iframe to render an external system (or even an Akumen page) within Akumen, to a completely bespoke entry screen for your application.

  • Click on Pages and click on the Plus icon

Three options are available:

  1. Blank - creates a completely blank page for you to build yourself;
  2. Template - allows you to link the page to a pre-existing application; and
  3. Iframe - allows you to specify a url. Akumen will create the appropriate html for rendering an iframe using the supplied url.

In this tutorial, we are going to create a page by template, and linking it to an application. Be sure to have followed the Python or R coffee shop tutorial. Although this works for Driver Models, some further customization may be required in the page due to the sheer number of parameters that can be displayed

  • Click on the Plus icon, and select template. A window appears, asking you to name the page and select from the list of available apps
  • Name the page Coffee Shop Entry Screen
  • Select either the Python or R coffee shop app, and click ok. You will be redirected to the page editor
Tip

The Published checkbox means the page is visible to all users (if they have permissions). Not checking the Published checkbox means general users will not be able to see they page unless they are admins and have permissions to see the page (which they will do by default)
