Use

Web application design allows you to use generic OLAP navigation for your BW data in Web applications as well as in business intelligence cockpits for simple or highly individual scenarios. Web application design comprises a broad spectrum of Web-based business intelligence scenarios, which you can adjust to meet your individual needs using standard Web technologies.

You can use this BEx Web Application Designer, the desktop application used to create Web applications, to generate HTML pages that contain BW-specific contents such as tables, charts or maps. These objects, which retrieve BW data from a data provider and place it in a Web application as HTML, are known as Web items. For more information on the Web items available, see Web Items.

You can save the Web applications as a URL and access them from an intranet or on mobile devices. In addition, you can save Web applications as iViews and integrate them into an Enterprise Portal.

The Web Application Wizard is an assistant that is integrated into the Web Application Designer. You can use this to help you create Web applications using a step-by-step procedure and to simplify design activities. The Web application wizard helps you to work with Web application design confidently and create your first Web applications.

Business Explorer Web application design also allows you to create highly individual scenarios with user-defined interface elements by using standard markup languages and Web design APIs. You can individually adjust and enhance Web Templates, the HTML pages that determine the structure of Web applications. For further information, see:
