A Meridium APM Web Framework Home Page can be configured to display a webpage that has been created using standard HTML code. We recommend that you use an HTML Editor to write the HTML code. After you have constructed the HTML code, you can paste the code in the Home Page Content text box on the Meridium APM Web Framework Home Page dialog box.
Note: Unlike links that appear elsewhere in the Meridium APM Web Framework, Home Page links that contain the Meridium APM scheme will not open in the Meridium APM Web Framework, even if the feature is supported. For example, if a URL behind a link on an Associated Pages menu is constructed using Meridium APM Framework URL syntax to open a record in the Meridium APM Framework application, when a user clicks that link in the Meridium APM Web Framework, the record will be opened in the Meridium APM Web Framework. If the URL behind a Home Page link is constructed using Meridium APM Framework URL syntax to open a record in the Meridium APM Framework application, when a user clicks that link, the record will be opened in the Meridium APM Framework application. If you want to configure a Home Page link to open a feature in the Meridium APM Web Framework, the URL must be constructed using the Meridium APM Web Framework syntax. For syntax help, see the URLs section of this Help system.
A Meridium APM Web Framework Home Page can be configured to use external files. For example, you might want to configure the Home Page to display images that are external to the Home Page itself. To use external files, the HTML code must contain references to the desired files, which then must be stored in the appropriate location. Where you store the external files is up to you. As long as the files are stored in a location that can be accessed by the web server and the path in the HTML code is correct, they should work properly in Home Pages.
If you want to store external files on the web server in the Meridium APM Web Framework directory, you can store them in the folder: <root>\Apm\Registry, where <root> is the location on the web server where the Meridium APM Web Framework is installed. The folder <root>\Apm\Registry is the root reference location for Home Page files. This means that if you store external files in this folder, you will be able to reference them within the home Page HTML code using the file name only.
Note: Keep in mind that because <root>\Apm\Registry is a folder that is created and managed by the Meridium APM Web Framework installer, it may be deleted whenever the Meridium APM Web Framework is installed. If you want to store external Home Page files in this folder, you will need to create a backup of this folder whenever you uninstall the Meridium APM Web Framework. Otherwise, you should store files in some other location.
