UI Map - Main

Use this page to define basic information about a user interface (UI) Map. Open this page using Admin Menu > UI Map.

Description of Page

Enter a unique Map name. Owner indicates if the UI map is owned by the base package or by your implementation ( Customer Modification).

CAUTION:

Important! If you introduce a new UI map, carefully consider its naming convention. Refer to System Data Naming Convention for more information.

Use UI Map Type to indicate whether the map is a Complete HTML Document or an HTML Fragment. Portal zones can reference a UI map to describe a fragment of their HTML, for example the zone header or filter area. In this case the UI map is not a complete HTML document, but is instead configured as a UI Map "fragment".

Note: How used. A context sensitive "UI Map Tips" zone is associated with this page to assist you with the HTML document definition syntax. Refer to the tips zone for more information on how to use fragment UI maps to construct portal zone HTML components.

Enter a Description. Use the Detailed Description to describe how this map is used in detail.

Click on the View Schema to view the UI map's expanded schema definition. Doing this opens the schema viewer window.

Use the Test UI Map hyperlink to render your html in a test window.

Note: Testing your map. You can use the Test UI Map hyperlink to render your map's html. Importantly, the hyperlink also exercises the proprietary functionality that binds an xml element with an html element so you can get immediate feedback on your html syntax.
