| master Web item (BW-BEX) |
Template for a Web item.
The master Web item determines the type of the Web item (for example, table, filter, chart, map, and so on) and includes default values for the attributes of each Web item. The various master Web items are available on the "Standard" tab page in the BEx Web Application Designer, or in the BEx Web Application Wizard. You choose a master Web item from this list, assign a DataProvider to the Web item, and process the attributes. Thus, you create your own Web item, which you add to your Web template or store in the library so that it can be reused in the future. Web items that are stored in the library can take on the character of master Web items and be used as a template for additional Web items.
You take the 'Chart' master Web item and create various master Web items for your library: Bar charts, column charts, pie charts, tachometers, and so on.
