Navigating a DoView web model

Internal navigation

A model can have many pages (called 'slices' in DoView). The contents bar on the right hand side of the screen contains all the pages within the model. Display a page by clicking on its name. In addition, some boxes in the model may contain hyperlinks, which look like (these are called "Hop-To's" in DoView). Clicking on these hyperlinks is another way to view pages within the model.

External web links

Some models may have external web links, shown by the icon. Click on it to display the external webpage.

Original DoView file may contain more information than this web page model

There may be more information in the original DoView file than you can view in this web page model. For instance, the original DoView file may include notes about any box or link in the model. This web page model includes the original DoView file from which it was created, which may be downloaded via the option bar at the bottom of the screen.

Linking icons:  ^  ||

DoView software can show how boxes are linked, for example, which boxes cause or result from another box. This web page model may show a highlighted box (its borders in bold) and all of the other boxes that 'cause' it or 'result' from it. A 'cause' is shown by double vertical lines, ||, at the top of a box. A 'result' is shown by a rising arrow head at the bottom of a box, ^. This web page model was created from a DoView file that may contain many of these 'cause' and 'result' links but this web page model will only display one set of these links.

DoView web page models are created by DoView software, available here. Create one from within DoView by selecting the File » Create Web Page Model menu option. The web page model will be saved in your preferred subdirectory, ready to be uploaded to an intranet or the Internet.
