Introduction

The Common Header (otag.webaccess) module allows launching of apps in the browser and provides common functionality such as authentication and profiles for web based apps.

Usage - technical overview

The video covers the following:

1. webaccess.json file overview
2. App installation and presentation
3. Presentation of the custom links feature
4. Presentation on a web app ('Webby' ) that does not have its own tab in the Common Header (Web Access), however it does show up in under the “AppWorks” tab in the Common Header.
5. App structure overview

Code

Here is an example webaccess.json file:

{
    "tabName":"Sample Name",
    "handlers":[{"type":"test","url":"/myapp/blah"}],
