Browser Widget

Use the Browser widget to open the Ortho2 web site, or any other Internet site, directly from within your Edge Cloud system. (An active Internet connection is required for this feature to work.)

Click to OpenOpen the Ortho2 Website - While many offices have the Ortho2 website as their widget home page, you can also access our site from the Edge Cloud Help menu, accessed from the File or Home ribbon bar.

Click to OpenOpen the Browser Widget

From the Application section of the Widget Library ribbon bar, choose the Browser widget, and select to open it as either a Dashboard or Application widget.

Click to OpenHome Page Settings

Click to OpenChoose Your Home Page

Click the Settings icon on the widget tool panel, then in the Home URL field, enter the web address you want to see when you first open the widget. Your setting remains in effect even after you refresh your system.

Click to OpenSet Current Page as Home Page

After you have navigated to a web site, you can set it as the home page for the widget. Click the Settings icon on the widget tool panel, then click Set Current Page. The Home URL field is automatically updated to the current page's full web address. The next time you exit and reenter Edge Cloud, or close and reopen the widget, the current page will be opened.

Click to OpenUse the Widget

Click to OpenNavigate Web Pages

You can use the links on any web page that you view within the widget just as you use any other Internet browser. Clicking certain links may open a separate browser window on your screen, just as they would open a new window or new tab if you were using a different browser. In addition, you can use the Home URL field in the widget settings (described above) to type the address of a web page you wish to view. However, the web address you type in the Home URL field becomes your widget home page.

Click to OpenWidget Panel Options

Depending on your device and panel format, you can expand and minimize widget panels, move the widget location on your screen, float them in their own windows, refresh and print data, and close the widget when you no longer need it. See Application widgets or Your Dashboard for details about using these features.
