Basic Map Application layout components
The map applications have a common structure and are built around the same components. These components are interdependent, which means that the interaction within one, may affect the content of another. Behavior and dependencies between components are common across the applications, however, they may differ in content and options/actions availability.
These applications are built of 6 main components:
• Common Header – global and shared for all applications in the system, presenting universal information.
• Ribbon – providing context-specific actions and application filters.
• Entity Browser (Left Panel) – presenting a list of entities (e.g., services).
• Main View (Map) – the central part of the application presenting graphical representation of the network or more specific visualizations of entities (e.g., services).
• Details Panel (Right Panel) – presenting high-level summaries related to application or details of selected entities.
• Details navigation bar – providing mechanisms for browsing details of different entities.
