Understanding Pagelet Wizard Display Formats
Pagelet Wizard supports the creation of pagelets based on the following display formats:
Table
List
Chart
Menu
Search list
Passthru
Custom (Extensible Stylesheet Language, or XSL)
Table Display Format
List Display Format
Chart Display Format
Menu Display Format
Search List Display Format
Passthru Display Format
Custom Display Format
The custom display format is appropriate for creating a pagelet using all data sources that return XML. Generally, most data types return XML, but circumstances potentially occur in which IBConnector, URL, and HTML datatypes do not return XML. In those instances, the custom display format would not be appropriate.
Use the custom display format when you want to use a display format other than the ones expressly listed in Pagelet Wizard. When you select the custom display format, Pagelet Wizard enables you to select a format provided by one of the delivered XSL prototypes, or you can select an XSL template that you created on the Define XSL page.
This custom pagelet uses the same PeopleSoft Query data source as the table pagelet example shown previously; however, this example has a custom XSL template applied.
