Web View Development Tasks to
Perform in Orchestrator 3
You create the Web pages and Web view components that form an Orchestrator Web view by using Web
development tools. You also use the Orchestrator client and configuration interface to perform many of the
steps of Web view development.
When you develop Web views, you use the Orchestrator client to perform tasks such as creating skeleton
Web views, declaring objects in the Orchestrator server as Web view attributes, exporting and importing
files to and from working directories, and creating and using templates to create other Web views. You set
the Orchestrator server to Web view development mode by using the Orchestrator configuration interface.

Create a Web View Skeleton
You can create a Web view by creating a Web view skeleton. A Web view skeleton contains no HTML files
or Web view components, and requires you to create these elements using Web development tools.
Procedure
1 From the drop-down menu in the Orchestrator client, select Administer.
2 Click the Web Views view.
3 Right-click in the white space in the Web view list and select Add web view.
4 Type a name for the Web view in the Create Web View text box and click OK.
