You can customize your selected presentation layout by including or excluding different layout features. These features, with the exception of Click Tracking, will impact the look-and-feel of your resulting layout.

Choose the features to include in your layout by selecting the appropriate checkbox. Then press the Apply button.

The features available for your presentation layout include:

• Left Menu The Left Menu component can be either a standard or DHTML menu and is shown at the left-hand side of the selected presentation schema. Typically, the Left Menu component contains menu items that are defined to link the various function modules in your application.

• Horizontal Menu
  The Horizontal Menu component can be either a standard or DHTML menu and is shown at the top of the presentation aligned horizontally. Typically, the Horizontal Menu component acts as the toolbar for the application.

• Right Menu
  The Right Menu component can only be defined as a standard menu and is shown at the right-hand side. Typically, it is used for promotional materials.

• Banner
  For more details, refer to 3.6.4 Banner Components.

• Company Logo
  If you want to change the value of the graphic variable used to define the company logo, you would have to change the *LW3CPYLOGO variable. This variable can be modified using the System Variables characteristic in the Web Functions Wizard or by modifying the graphic variable *LW3CPYLOGO using the PC-based Web Function Editor. For details, refer to 3.6.3 System Variables .

• Click Tracking
  Including Click Tracking will embed the RDML command <RDML TRACE> in your presentation layout. You must configure your LANSA system to use Event Logging for this feature to be used. For more details, refer to Enabling Event Logging.

When a menu is included in a presentation layout, LANSA will search for a process specific Menu component. If a process specific component cannot be found, the default Menu component will be used if it exists.

Defining the menus is a separate step. For more details, refer to Customizing a Standard Menu and Customizing a DHTML Menu.
