This section will build on the previous section and introduce a new layer type, called a WebView, to your Workspace.

Creating a new WebView

...

Press the Add Content button and select New > WebView.

...

A new layer is added to the top of the layer list with type WebView. This is an embedded web browser and, as shown in the layer properties, defaults to the URL - https://www.igloovision.com.

...

Next, let’s add another new WebView using the New > WebView menu option and change the URL to https://www.microsoft.com . Drag the WebView to the right side of the canvas. Also try scaling the WebView using the Scale slider in the Geometry tab of the layer properties.

...

Info

All content exists in ICE as a Layer. Layers have common properties such as size and position, and type specific properties such as a filepath for an image or video and a URL for a WebView.

Saving Layers to a Session

When you have your two new WebViews scaled and positioned as you want them, you can save them to a session.

...

In the Workspace menu, select Save Session.

...

To test loading the session you have just saved, first of all remove the WebView layers from the layer list. This is done by selecting each layer and pressing the Trash icon just to the right of the Add Content button.

...

Once the WebViews are removed, press the Add Content button and select Load.

The Load Content dialog will appear showing 3 tabs: Files, Templates and Sessions. Select the Sessions tab and then select the session you previously saved. This will load the WebViews back into the layer list and display them on the canvas.
