1. Introduction
The Web Functions Wizard allows you to quickly and easily customize the presentation of your LANSA Web Function or WEBEVENT applications.
- It is a Web-based tool used to alter the graphical interface of your LANSA Web Function Application. (It is not used with Web Application Modules.)
- It removes the need to manually define graphic variables and Web components.
- You can change the look-and-feel of your applications without having to recompile any of the Web functions in your application.
- The Wizard is not used to create your LANSA Web functions.
- It allows the RDML programmer to concentrate on the functionality of the application, without having to worry about the graphical interface of the application. On completion of the RDML programming, the Wizard can be executed over the application to quickly build the menus and design a graphical interface to meet the user requirements.
- The Wizard gives you the flexibility of deciding which components to include or exclude from the presentation.
- The Wizard allows you to convert the default look-and-feel of a LANSA Web function into a contemporary Web look-and-feel.
In-depth knowledge of HTML or JavaScript is not required to use the Web Functions Wizard.
For example, the screen shown is the default of applications generated by a LANSA Web function. It has a 5250 look-and-feel.
Using the Web Functions Wizard, you can convert this 5250 look-and-feel to a modern, look-and-feel as shown. There is no manual modification to the HTML and no recompilation of the function.
