Open the 'Configure > Model > Options > Cloud' options and tick these checkboxes:

• Auto create Diagram Image and Image Map (each time a Diagram is saved)
• Auto create HTML Page (each time a Linked Document is saved)

These options ensure diagrams and Linked Documents are saved in a format that allows them to be viewed in WebEA.

9.6

Create a sample set of Model Views, Packages, diagrams and elements, so that they can be viewed in WebEA later.

10.1

On a client machine, open an internet browser and enter the URL http://{yourwebserver}/WebEA/login.php, where the value '{yourwebserver}' is either the name or IP number of the machine hosting the WebEA website. The WebEA login screen displays, listing the three model connections we defined earlier:

• Pro Cloud Model (no updates)
• Pro Cloud Model with discussions
• Pro Cloud Model with access code

10.2

Select the first model connection - Pro Cloud Model (no updates) - and click on the Next button. This connects you to the model and displays the model views that are defined.

From here you should be able to navigate through the model by selecting Packages, diagrams and elements. When you select an element, its complete details are displayed. Because of the way this model connection is defined, the bottom of the properties section will NOT contain the 'Discussions' section.

10.3

Click on the 'hamburger' icon in the top right corner of the display, and select the 'Logout' option. Then select the second model connection - Pro Cloud Model with discussions - and click on the Next button. You should see the same model views as before; now navigate to an element and confirm that the 'Discussions' section is visible.

10.4

Once again, click on the 'hamburger' icon in the top right corner, and select the 'Logout' option.

Select the third model connection, 'Pro Cloud Model with access code' and click on the Next button. This time you should be presented with a prompt for the Access Code; enter 'password01' (as we defined in step 7.5) and click on the Login button. You should see the same model views as before. Navigate to an element; this time there should be a blue 'hamburger' menu in the element details area that allows the creation of element features such as tests and resource allocations. There should also be a pencil icon next to the element notes area that, when clicked on, will allow the modification of element notes.
