Customizing Wires
MashZone NextGen Wires gives you an easy, graphic way to find information within your organization or from outside sources and combine or transform it in a mashup. Your information sources include MashZone NextGen mashables and mashups, or public resources accessible on the Internet.
Wires lets you drag information sources as simple, graphic blocks, add action blocks to transform information and connect blocks with"wires" to create a mashup for your use or for other users. You quickly create basic mashups.
Mashups combine and transform the information, but don't let you see the information or share it easily. Apps let you view results from mashable information sources or mashups in different formats and easily add these views to MashZone NextGen workspaces, wiki pages, portal pages, or any web page.
So how do you get started? See Wires Features for an introduction to the design features in Wires. For common questions, try the MashZone NextGen concepts.
Once you are ready to create your first mashup, start with Creating Mashups in Wires.
Once you have a mashup, you must add views to the mashups to let you or other users see mashup results in useful ways. See Views for Mashups and Mashables for links to more information.
When the mashup has views, you can then create one or several apps to begin using it in web pages or a wiki. See Apps and Workspaces for links to more information on using mashups in apps.
For more robust or complex mashup capabilities, you create mashups using EMML and the Mashup Editor.
