NetObjects Fusion Views
NetObjects Fusion provides views that correspond to the tasks you complete when
you design and build a site. Changes you make in one view are reflected in the
others. You can go to any view at any time by clicking a button on the Views bar at
the top of the NetObjects Fusion window.
Site view
is selected
• You see Online view when you start NetObjects Fusion (if you haven’t changed
the settings on the Program tab of the Application Options dialog). Online view
offers a variety of resources to help you build successful websites. It includes
services you can integrate into your site, content you can incorporate on your
pages, how-to information to enhance your site building experience, links to
NetObjects and third-party resources, and much more.
• Start with Site view to create the hierarchical structure of a site or to import an
existing site. You can see a structural map of the site, which is a graphic view
that shows how the pages relate to each other, or an outline view similar to
Windows Explorer. You can quickly rearrange your site by dragging and
dropping pages and sections. See Chapter 3, “Creating and Managing Sites.”
• Use Page view to design pages and add content. In Page view you see the
Layout area and MasterBorder of each page. The Layout area displays objects
that are unique to that page. The MasterBorder contains objects that repeat on a
set of pages, much as headers and footers appear in a word processing
document. You can also preview the page as it will appear in a browser and
view and edit the HTML source. See Chapter 6, “Page View Basics.”
• A SiteStyle consists of a variety of elements, including navigation buttons,
banners, lines, and text. In Style view you can create your own SiteStyle, or
choose from pre-built SiteStyles to give your entire site a consistent look and
feel. See Chapter 19, “Using SiteStyles.”
• Assets include the files, links, data objects, and variables that you reference in
your site. Assets view gives you centralized control over all these referenced
items. When you change an asset, NetObjects Fusion updates every reference to
that asset throughout the site. See Chapter 33, “Managing Assets.”
