In this article you will learn:
1. What is an embedded app?
Embedded applications are similar to widgets to a page. You can make external application contents available on a desired webpage. For example, we often see Google Maps on a restaurant’s webpage. In this case, Google Maps is the embedded app, and it’s providing further convenience to users.
2. How can I make Allex available on a webpage?
You just need to follow the simple steps below.
Decide a webpage where you want to add Allex contents
Share the webpage URL with Allex team for configuration (This is required due to some security reasons, e.g., project data should not be available on a strange page)
After the configuration, you can add the iFrame script to the webpage
Allex iFrame Script
<iframe
frameborder=“0”
scrolling=“yes”
style=“border:none”
width=“100%”
height=“1200px”
sandbox=“allow-forms allow-modals allow-orientation-lock allow-pointer-lock allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-presentation allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation”
title=“Allex embedded app”>
</iframe>
Tip: Minimum height is 800px, so you can increase the height as you wish
3. What sort of Allex contents are available?
MyTasks page
Global Search
4. How should it look?
This is an example of Allex embedded in an Atlassian Confluence page.
The first page should be Allex login page
Click the 'Login' button
There should be a small login pop-up
Enter your usual Allex credentials
After successful login, My Tasks page should be displayed
You can find the useful functions at the top right corner
By clicking Allex icon, the WebApp version will open in a new browser tab
By clicking the search icon, Global Search will open as an overlay
5. What happens next?
Log in to Allex with your credentials
Enjoy your streamlined workflow
Tip: SSO (Single sign-on) can be added to the embedded app as well. Please contact us if you'd like to add it.
