FrameTypes in the range 1100–1199 are reserved for Oracle frames.
FrameTypes in the range 1200–1299 are reserved for third party custom frames.
GUI frames that end users see are derived from frame prototypes. Prototypes exist only in ESMs and are available in the Frame prototype to use drop-down list in Step 2: Add and Rename Frames. These prototypes are selected as the basis for dashboard frames to be created. In runtimes, prototypes are discarded with the Wizard section.
A variety of frame prototypes are available in the standard release, and can be customized in several ways:
Apply a customized color schemes to a frame layout through Step 8: Configure Style
Elements such as the navigation or top panel can be moved to achieve alternate layout effects
Additional graphical elements can be introduced that leverage the properties of current style elements
The third customization type enables you to insert a graphic that uses the style of another frame element; for example, the navigation or top panel styles. This type of customization is achieved by creating graphical objects with the name customqiq_<element name>.
customqiq_FrameWorkNav—Leverages the properties of the navigation panel
customqiq_topPanel—Leverages the properties of top panel
customqiq_Background—Leverages the properties of the display background
In Interactive Reporting Studio, enter Design mode (Ctrl+D), to find the name of a dashboard element, select the element. The name is displayed in the status bar.
You can specify an object name as long as it begins with the correct prefix (for example, customqiq_topPanel, customqiq_topPanel2). The prefix enables you to create multiple elements that inherit an identical set of styles.
User and system controls are available on each GUI frame. The user controls can be set as visible or invisible. The system controls are invisible even in Design mode.
All system controls are locked and sent to back. These settings ensure consistency and prevent the controls from being deleted or moved.
