External GUI Module |

With an External GUI Module a custom html site can be displayed in a defined GUI stack. Using the URL call interface or the WebOffice script API you can control WebOffice 10.4 SP2 functionality from these GUI modules. This way it e.g. possible to use an external GUI module instead of the WebOffice search form (queries still have to be defined to have an external Layer ID, but no predefined queries need to be configured).
