  3. Define the Name, Description, and the External content URL. In the Name and URL fields, you can use context variables by typing in the context variable name in the format "{#contextvariablename}".
  4. After defining these properties, click Close. The web page should now be visible:

Note that some sites prevent themselves to be embedded into other web sites and web applications like QPR MobileDashboard. In those cases, the presentation object will be left blank.
