Direct to Web Applications

After the user logs in, Direct to Web displays its first dynamically generated page:
a query-all page (

Figure 5-2

). This page allows the user to specify the enterprise

objects he or she wants to work with. The user can query for any type of enterprise
object that is visible in the application (the developer decides which types are visible
and which are not).

A query-all page

If the query-all page is not specific enough, the user can click one of the hyperlinks
labeled “more..”, which brings up a query page specific to the corresponding type
of enterprise object (

Figure 5-3

). In this page, the user can specify the values for

several properties at the same time. The resulting query is the logical “and” of the
individual queries for the properties.
