The Web Frameset - Open allows a different website to be opened within a Workflow either beside or below the Page, and persists through Page navigation.
This can be contrasted with the
IFrame, which is typically smaller and embedded within a single Page of the Workflow.
The triggering button can be visible to or hidden from the agent, and upon being triggered will cause the window to be split in half:
This control is part of the Intermediate control pack, and will only be available if you have the appropriate licence part.

Notes
The Web Frameset - Open must be linked to a Page, and upon triggering the button, that Page will be navigated to. If it's not desired to navigate the Workflow at the time when the Web Frameset is opened, then the current Page can be selected.
The opened website will remain open and unaffected by events within the Workflow, even if the Page is navigated, and will only be closed if a
Web Frameset - Close is triggered.
As with other button-type controls, it is possible to require a Page pass
validation before the button will activate. This prevents the agent from leaving the Page before all requisite details have been collected.
As with other button-type controls, upon activation the button will then be disabled until the action has completed.
As with other button-type controls, it is possible to trigger this by JavaScript or
Update Links. Please see the
.click() article for more information and an example regarding using JavaScript.
