URL Container

A URL Container is used to display information that resides elsewhere inside of your project workspace. A URL Container can point to any URL-addressible content, including reports on other internal systems, such as those generated by SAP or by Serena Business Manager, or to content located on external systems, or to a location on the Internet.

Adding the URL Container widget to a view

You can add a URL Container to any custom view or custom workflow that your organization wants to add to Serena Agile Planner. A custom URL Container can be configured to point to a URL that is accessible by a user, either a fully-qualified URL for a page that is on the Internet or an internal URL for a page that is within your organization's intranet.
