The GUI is capable of supporting multiple views. As new views are added to the base release, they will be documented here.

NOTE:

The capability of adding views to the GUI dynamically at run-time is also available to developers, allowing, for example, an ONOS App developer to create GUI content that works specifically with their application. The content will be injected dynamically into the GUI when the app is installed, and removed automatically from the GUI when the app is uninstalled. For more details on this feature, see the Web UI tutorials.

The views currently included in the base release are:
