About Inspecting the Sales Application User Interface Definitions

You can use Oracle JDeveloper to review and edit the Offline Client for Life Sciences application UI definitions and their relationships.

The Sales application user interface is defined in a series of UI metadata definition files. You can edit the metadata definition files by opening them in Oracle JDeveloper. The Structure window in Oracle JDeveloper displays all the nodes associated with a definition file.

There are four types of UI metadata definition files:

• Toolbar definition (toolbar_buttons.xml). Defines the toolbars and buttons used across the entire application.

  For more information, see Inspecting the Toolbar Definition in the Sales Application.

• Application definition (applicationdefn.xml). Defines the page containers and the associated pages displayed within an application. The Sales application uses a three-page layout: Home, Today's Plan, and Quick Access. For each page container, you can define a series of pages that you can switch between.

  For more information, see Inspecting the Sales Application Definition.

• Pages definition (pagesdefn.xml). Defines which applets are available in a page, and which applets can be switched with other applets in the same page.

  For more information, see Inspecting How Pages Are Defined in the Sales Application.

• Applets definition (appletsdefn.xml). Defines the applets used in the entire application.

  For more information, see Inspecting How Applets Are Defined in the Sales Application.

After you edit a definition file, you must validate that modified definition file. For more information, see Validating Modified Definition Files.
