Create or open a hub

Load a new or existing hub

To get started, either create a new hub or open an existing one. Feel free to create or open another at any time! If the current hub has any unsaved changes, you'll be prompted to save before continuing.

You can create any number of hubs for yourself. However, keep in mind that your subscription has a total limit! You can also share your hubs with some or all of the users in your customer project.

Note

To set a default hub that opens automatically when the app launches, see User settings.

Create a hub

Select + Create hub in the top-right corner. Fill in the following fields as needed:

• Name * - enter a distinct name for the workflow.

• Icon - use the icon picker to change the hub's icon. The default is icon-display-grid .

• Colour - use the colour picker to change the hub's colour. The default is #25aae1 .

Select Create to finish. You can then edit the hub to add widgets and configure its layout.

Open a hub

To open an existing hub in the current customer project, select Open Hub in the top-left corner. Alternatively, select Search in the top app bar.

By default, the Search window displays all the hubs available to you. Depending on your last search, you may need to select the button beside the search box and choose the Hubs category to see them. To search the available hubs, enter one or more terms into the search box, and then press the Enter key.

Browse the search tabs to see:

• Results - the hubs that match your search terms and settings.

• Recent - the things you've recently viewed across all the Alloy Apps, including hubs, items and other features.

Select a result to open it. To open it in a new browser tab, use middle-click or Ctrl-click.

Note

To learn more about searching for hubs and other things, see Search in Alloy Home.

Filter results

To refine your search results, select Advanced search (top-right). You can use these settings to filter the resulting hubs in various ways.

Only show hubs which:

• Query - meet the conditions of a custom query created with the AQS Builder. Configure the root node to filter hub items by their collection. Add any number of logical and conditional nodes to the query to filter the resulting hubs accordingly.

• Mine - were created by you.

• Shared - are shared specifically with you.

• Public - are shared with everyone in your customer project.

Select Apply to filter the results according to your settings. To clear these settings (but not the search box), select Reset.
