What is an iFrame?
Looking for a way to bring a rich experience and data visualisation into your Pharmacy? You may be able to accomplish this goal by embedding an iFrame in a Hive. Thereby providing access to external content from various sources or systems into a single portal for members to easily work together.

What is an iFrame and how to utilise it?
An iFrame is an external webpage embedded inside another. This functionality can be used to insert a piece of content from different sources into your Pharmacy Hive portal for your members to see.
You can insert an iFrame using the Hives tool. Hives can be a powerful tool within Pharmacy Hive to customise your member's experiences. They can be used as your Pharmacy's Home page, documents for collaboration with members, data visualisation from other systems or video content designed for members.
Hives can be used with embedded iFrames to deliver video content, dashboards from business intelligence tools, Google Docs for collaboration, and many other uses.
How to allow domains for iFrames?
iFrames basically brings a page in another domain and displays it in a Hive. That is why the domains you would like to use in iFrames need to be added to the allowed domains list first. If you have a request for a domain to allow, please contact us at hello@pharmacyhive.au and we can add this in for you.
How to embed iFrames into a Hive?
After the intended domain is allowed as explained in the previous section, members can embed links as iframes in a Hive.
To embed an iFrame in a Hive, please follow the steps below:
Navigate to Hives
Create a new hive
Select “Insert” from the toolbar to view the options
Select “iFrame”
Check to see if your domain is allowed
Paste the full URL of the page you would like to embed in the designated section
Click the “Insert” button
When you insert the iFrame, you will be able to view it on the hive. However please remember to save the hive itself for the iFrame to be saved in the Hive before leaving.
It is also important to note that not all websites allows iFrames to be embedded. X-Frame-Option or Content Security Policy (CSP) header configuration in HTTP response prevents from embedding the iFrames.
