Summary
WIZ007 - Adopting a Presentation Layout
Important Observations
- When a process is first adopted, the presentation layout, style sheet and menu components are adopted.
- You can create process specific overrides when you have adopted a layout. The adopting process definitions are used over the adopted layout definitions (with the exception of DHTML menus).
- Process specific color variables can be removed when adopting from another process.
- DHTML menus are always adopted. Any process specific DHTML menu's in the adopting process will be ignored if the process layout has been adopted from another process.
Tips & Techniques
- When you have created process specific settings, the adopted layout will no longer be used (except for DHTML menus).
- Remove process specific color variables, to revert back to the parent colors, by using the check boxes provided when adopting a process.
- Layout Features will always be inherited from the adopted process (e.g. if the adopted process includes a standard left menu, the adopting process will include a standard left menu).
- If you wish to reset the iiPROC02 process to its default, you can use the Wizard to delete the process layout, delete the menu components and delete the color scheme. Alternatively, you can use the Web Function Editor and delete the iiPROC02_LAYOUT, iiPROC02_LMENU, iiPROC02_RMENU, and iiPROC02_HMENU pages and the associated graphic variables.
