Configuring Sun Master Indexes

Specifying the Initial View for the MIDM

By default, the Record Details page appears when a user logs in to the Master Index Data Manager. You can specify any of the other tabbed pages as the initial view. Each page on the MIDM is identified by a screen ID in midm.xml, which is an integer defined in the screen-id element for each page. Use this ID to specify which page to display first when a user logs in.

ProcedureTo Specify the Initial View

  1. In the Projects window, expand the Configuration node in the project you want to modify, and then double-click midm.xml.

    The file opens in the NetBeans XML editor.

  2. Locate the page definition for the page you want to display first, and note the value of its screen-id element.

  3. Scroll to the initial-screen-id element, located in the gui-definition element.

  4. Enter the value of the screen-id element for the page you want to display first.

  5. Save and close the file.
