Using Lobby Page

IFS Cloud Web Lobby Page serve as a bridge between IFS Cloud Pages, Lobby Elements, and Data Sources. Within a Lobby Page, you can find one or more Lobby Elements, each linked to a Data Source. However, there are exceptions to this rule. For instance, the Links List element may be associated with multiple data sources, while the text/image element does not rely on any data source.

IFS Cloud Pages display data in a predefined format. Users can navigate to different pages within IFS Cloud or external websites through links embedded in the Lobby Elements. Each Lobby Element can be configured to present the underlying data in various ways. However, it's important to note that Lobby Elements can only display data available from their connected Data Source.
