About using an External Content item

External content refers to media content outside of a Galaxy, such as an html document, that can be linked to a ViewApp and displayed during runtime.

External content is associated with a ViewApp by placing an External Content item on a layout pane during design time. An External Content item is created and then configured with the External Content editor to identify the location of documents and their content types. An External Content item is managed within the Visualization folder hierarchy of content items, which is visible in the System Platform IDE and in the Toolbox or Assets areas of the Layout and ViewApp editors.
