# The Web Viewer Object

The Web Viewer Object allows you to embed a web page in a Screen or a Container.

The Web Viewer Object can be useful, for example, when some stages of a process initiated on Board must be carried out online or when you want to show pieces of information published on a website within a Screen or a Container.

The embedded webpage retains all its functionalities in the Object, but as soon as you click on one of its links, a new browser tab will open.

Some graphic aspects of the Web Viewer Object can be formatted to match the graphic style of your Capsule.
