Hiding Input Forms for Apps in a Workspace

By default, workspaces hide the input form for each app within the workspace, with one exception: when the app is first loaded in the workspace. This allows users to set input parameters initially so that each app can retrieve and display information. Users can open an app’s input form at any later time with the

App Tools button in the app title bar.

When you wire interactions between apps in a workspace, information published in events can be used to supply input parameters to the subscribing apps instead of having users enter this information. Or you may create a combined input parameter form that supplies inputs for all apps in the workspace in one, single form so that users do not have to fill in and apply several forms to see all the information for the workspace.

In these cases, users should not be entering values for input parameters in individual apps. You can have the workspace completely hide the input form for individual apps.

To hide input forms

1. Find and open the workspace in Mashboard. See Find Views, Apps or Workspaces in Mashboard for instructions.

2. Click

Configure in the title bar for an app with an input form that you want to hide.

3. Open the Inputs tab and set the Hide Inputs option.
