override-initial-concept=<concept id> |
Overrides the initial concept selection in the find graphics "tab" in Pilot Edge. It overrides the local storage setting and re-selects the specified concept each time Pilot Edge is loaded. The list of concepts and their id can be found in the service document for PDS , host:8177/concepts, and it is the numeric part of the id that it is used. Note: This feature is only applied when Pilot Edge is loaded the first time. If a newsroom system only hides Pilot Edge and shows the previously loaded version, this will not be applied. |
sendbutton |
Force the Send to Newsroom system button to appear. |
origin=[URL] |
When hosted in an iframe, Viz Pilot Edge uses window.PostMessage to communicate with the host window. The origin parameter is a safety measure to ensure that only the window with the given origin gets the message. If not present, Viz Pilot Edge will fall back to using *, which makes the browser skip this check. |
