The landing page, accessible by visiting the server's IP address in a web browser, shows tiles across the top for each Wolfram Manufacturing application that is available. Whether the application links open in the current tab or a new tab can be customized.
HTTPS links
Some applications make use of browser features that are only available on pages loaded with HTTPS. These applications have a separate lock icon on their tile. Clicking this lock icon will open the application with HTTPS. The first time you do this, you may have to bypass a browser warning. This warning appears because the server is not hosted on the internet, so it does not have a publicly-verified HTTPS certificate, but your connection to the server will still be encrypted.
Custom links
This page is also capable of showing custom links organized into sections. To add links:
- Click "Customize" at the top right of the landing page.
- For each section you want to add:
- Under "Custom links" click "New section".
- Enter a name for the new section.
- For each link you want to add to this section:
- Click "Add link".
- Enter the display name and target URL of the link.
- Turn on "open in new tab/window" if you would like the link to open in a new tab when clicked, otherwise leave it off and the link will open in the tab showing the landing page.
- Turn on "enable ping" if you would like the link to be color-coded based on whether it is reachable from the current browser. This can indicate whether a VPN connection is necessary, whether the link target is down, etc.
- If you would like, upload a small icon to display next to the link name in the list. Icons are limited to 100 KB each.
- Click OK to save the link.
- You can rearrange links in a section by clicking the up and down arrow buttons, and you can rearrange sections by clicking the "move up" and "move down" buttons.
- To edit a link, click the pencil icon in its row.
- To delete a link, click the trash can icon in its row.
- To delete an entire section, click its "delete" button.
- Click "Save" on the right side of the page when you are done. To cancel all current changes, click "discard" instead.
