WebEA
New Tabbed Interface
An overhaul to WebEA's main layout for an improved user experience.
WebEA's interface is now split into three main tabs:
- The Model Tab, for browsing the model content.
- The Collaborate tab for accessing collaborative features such as Discussions, Mail and Chat.
- The Search tab, for custom searches and predefined watchlists.
This new tabbed layout allows you to quickly switch between tabs; responding to model chat, or performing a model search, without losing your place in the model.
WebEA - Improved Usability
Navigation Breadcrumb
WebEA's model navigation bar now include a breadcrumb of the current objects location. This provides quick and easy access to parent packages and objects. Combined with WebEA's browser this allows efficient navigation of your model content.
Enhanced Search and Watchlist
WebEA's Search and Watchlist results now provide a properties panel along side the list of results. This allows you to easily browse the results from directly within the search tab, or you can use the 'Find In Model' button jump to the object within the model.
