1.4 What is the Web Functions Wizard?
The Web Functions Wizard allows you to quickly and easily customize the presentation of your LANSA Web Function Applications. The Wizard is not used to create your LANSA functions. It is used to alter their appearance using Web-based functions executed from your browser. The Wizard removes the need to manually code HTML and JavaScript. It simplifies the implementation of graphic variables and Web components. You can change the look-and-feel of your applications without having to recompile any of the functions in your application.
The Web Functions Wizard allows the RDML programmer to concentrate on the functionality of the application, without having to worry about the presentation attributes. The presentation can be quickly assembled using simple menu choices and presentation options. The Wizard gives you the flexibility of deciding which components to include or exclude from the presentation.
The Web Functions Wizard removes the need for in-depth knowledge of HTML or JavaScript. The Wizard allows you to convert the default look-and-feel of a LANSA function into a contemporary Web look-and-feel. The pre-shipped images, color schemes and presentation schema reduce the need for specialized graphical skills as part of the application development and implementation.
For example, the screen shown is the default look-and-feel of applications generated by LANSA Web Functions.
Using the Web Functions Wizard, you can convert this 5250 look-and-feel to a modern, state-of-the art look-and-feel as shown. There is no manual modification to the HTML and no recompilation of the function.
