Drag and Drop

As well as populating cards using the wizard, it is possible to create views dynamically. Dragging and dropping glint files, report templates and datasources from the repository onto a card enables interactive positioning. With this approach, the tool will automatically insert the split views necessary to support the content views that are dropped.

When dragging over a view, a blue box is shown to indicate the current drop region. When near to the edge of a view, any drop will create a new content view on that side, introducing a split view if necessary. When dropping directly over a view, the old view will be replaced by a new one showing the new content. Note that when creating views this way, the content and view names are initialized automatically by the tool to ensure they are unique. It is possible to adjust the names later if desired.
