The Hover Panel

The Hover Panel is an interface module of the WMS that is used to add elements.

Basics

wms-hover-panel-topics

The hover panel is composed of:

  • a header area with
    • title bar and close function
    • Search bar
    • a category filter bar
  • an element list
  • if necessary, a footer area with additional functions.

In the WMS it is always used where elements are assigned to other elements. It therefore exists in three forms:
