User Interfaces for End Users

Analytica User GuideUser Interfaces for End Users

This chapter shows you how to create a user interface containing input and output nodes for easy access for other people who might use your model. It also describes how to design a clear user interface, apply icons and graphics, and include hyperlinks to web pages.

To enable end-users to run your model, you may decide to publish your model to the Analytica Cloud Platform and invite your colleagues to view it from their web browser. When publishing to the web, additional styles settings can be configured to make your interface more user-friendly from the confines of a web browser. The second part of this chapter, shows you how to publish your model to the Cloud.
