Merlin Web Module
General

The web module is an optional add-on for Merlin, enabling users to work with Merlin in a web browser eliminating the need to have Merlin installed on their machine or Mac OS X.

If you face any problems with the display and/or operation please ensure that you are using a supported browser. The list of supported browsers can be found here.

How do I show or hide columns

Merlin Web Module uses a newly added feature called "column sets" to determine which groups of columns should be shown.

  2. Select the column set you wish to activate. Please note that the column set must be predefined using the native Merlin interface
Usability Considerations

Usability considerations when using Merlin's Web Module are summarized here.

Note: Browser page loading

If you notice that your browser hasn't completely loaded the page, don't be alarmed. This is by design. Merlin keeps a constant connection between the browser and Merlin so you can see changes to the Merlin project file as they occur.
