Customizing Static Page Layouts
The right look and feel of an application is important for user adoption, and one way to achieve the right look and feel is by customizing page layouts. As part of the customizing process, you can:
There are two methods of customizing page layouts. You can define static page layouts defining specific fields by role, or dynamic page layouts that change based on the type of record being created. Dynamic page layouts can also be assigned by role. The number of characters that you can use in page layout names is limited. For more information, see About Custom Layout Limits.
You can create new layouts for each record type and then assign a page layout for each record type to a user role. When a user with that role signs in, the user then sees any customized layout specific to each record type. For example, you can create two page layouts for opportunities: one simplified layout for service representatives showing only the most important fields and another layout for field sales representatives showing many more fields, and assign the different layouts to the different roles. Users who are not assigned the service representative or field sales representative roles continue to see the default layout for the Opportunity page. As another example, you can create two page layouts for contacts, such that the Account field is required when service representatives add new contacts, but not required when service managers add new contacts.
If you do not assign a custom page layout for a record type for a given role, the default page is used for that record type.
When customizing a page layout, you can determine:
- Which fields appear on the page
For custom fields to appear, you must add them to the page layouts. After that, users with roles to which the custom page layout is assigned will see the fields on the Edit page, Detail page, and Create form (in the Action bar).
- Where fields appear on the page
- Which fields are required
- Which fields are read-only
- Which fields must always appear on the layout, even if users personalize their field layout
- How many page sections appear and with which headings.
- Which linked record types are displayed in the related information sections on the Detail page.
For example, you might want linked contacts to appear on the Accounts Detail page.
- Which layout is used for each related information section.
- Which layout is used in the new record page when users create records from a list of related records of a given record type, provided that the related record type supports custom layouts for new record pages.
There are some exceptions for this feature. For example:
- Although you can select a layout for the new record pages for the Open Appointments and Open Tasks related information sections, these layouts will not be used when users create new appointments or new tasks from an Open Activities related information section.
- You cannot select a layout for the new record page for the Log a Call button on a list of completed activities.
- Users cannot create new records from some related information sections, such as the Audit Trail section. Therefore, you cannot select a layout for creating new records from those related information sections.
NOTE: You can also assign a layout for the new record page for each record type in the Role Management Wizard. For information about how Oracle CRM On Demand determines which layout is used in the new record page when users create records from a list of related records, and for details of how to create such layouts, see Customizing Page Layouts for Creating New Records.
You can copy standard layouts, but you cannot edit or delete them. You can delete custom layouts, unless it is already assigned to a role or a dynamic layout.
About Personalizing Page Layouts
Brugere kan personalisere layoutet af de relaterede oplysningsafsnit på detaljesiden til en posttype, hvis privilegiet Personaliser detaljeside - Relaterede oplysninger er aktiveret til deres brugerrolle. .
Brugere kan personalisere feltlayoutet på detaljesiden til en posttype, når deres brugerrolle er konfigureret, som følger:
- Privilegiet Personaliser detaljeside - Felter er aktiveret til rollen.
- Et tilpasset sidelayout et tildelt til rollen til posttypen.
For more information about personalized page layouts, see the following topics:
Considerations for Fields in Page Layouts
When you design your page layouts, consider the following:
- Some record fields are important to report and forecast calculations. To enforce the consistent use of these fields, they are flagged as required. You cannot change the required flag on these fields when customizing a page layout. You also cannot remove them from a page layout.
- Removing fields from a page layout can have important implications for how the records are used. For example, if you remove the Status and Publish fields on solutions records, employees with that page layout cannot approve solutions or make them available to others.
- Addresses are grouped together so that the field and their labels reflect the naming convention for each country. Therefore, for some record types, you cannot separate out individual address lines. Instead, you must select the field that includes the group of address lines (a single address option). This option replaces the individual fields that you could select in releases earlier than Release 20, such as Street, City, Zip Code. For example, for leads, the field Billing appears on the Field Setup and Field Layout steps of the Page Layout assistant. The Billing field includes all the Billing Address fields.
- You can move standard and custom note fields in the Long Text Field(s) list on your page layout to other areas in your page layout.
- You can move the following fields to and from the Long Text field(s) list, and to and from other areas, in your page layout:

Page Layouts and Lists
Du kan bruge sidelayout og rolleprivilegier til at begrænse de felter, som brugere kan søge efter, se i lister og eksportere. Når en bruger opretter eller uddyber en liste over poster eller bruger avanceret søgning til at finde poster, fastlægger de privilegier og sidelayout, som brugerens rolle er tildelt, de felter, som brugeren kan søge i og se.
Hvis privilegiet Alle felter i søgning og lister er aktiveret til brugerens rolle, kan brugeren søge i alle de søgefelter, som er gjort tilgængelige i det søgelayout, som brugerens rolle er tildelt til den posttype. Ved oprettelse eller uddybning af en liste kan brugeren desuden vælge at vise et hvilket som helst felt som en kolonne i listen over poster, der returneres af søgningen.
BEMÆRK: Det anbefales, at firmaadministratorer ikke aktiverer privilegiet Alle felter i søgning og lister til de fleste brugerroller. Når privilegiet ikke er aktiveret, er felter, som firmaet ikke bruger, ikke synlige i søge- og listesider. Derved mindskes datatrængsel, og det gør det lettere for brugere at se de felter, som de er mest interesseret i.
Hvis privilegiet Alle felter i søgning og lister ikke er aktiveret til brugerens rolle, kan brugeren kun søge i et felt, hvis det opfylder begge følgende kriterier:
- Feltet er et tilgængeligt søgefelt i det sidelayout, som brugerens rolle er tildelt til posttypen.
- Feltet vises på det detaljesidelayout, som brugerens rolle er tildelt til posttypen. Hvis dynamiske sidelayout er defineret til rollen, skal feltet vises på mindst ét af de dynamiske sidelayout.
Ved oprettelse eller uddybning af en liste kan brugeren desuden vælge et felt og vise det som en kolonne i listen over poster, der returneres af søgningen, hvis feltet er vist på mindst et af detaljesidelayoutene, heriblandt dynamiske sidelayout, som brugerens rolle er tildelt til posttypen. Denne begrænsning påvirker også det, som brugeren kan eksportere i en liste. Hvis privilegiet Liste - Eksporter viste·felter er aktiveret i brugerens rolle, men privilegiet Liste - Eksporter alle felter ikke er aktiveret, kan brugeren vælge kun at eksportere de felter, der vises i listen. Brugeren kan ikke eksportere alle felter på posterne i listen.
BEMÆRK: I tilfælde af avancerede søgninger, som brugere starter fra linket Avanceret i en liste over relaterde poster på en overordnet post, gælder yderligere overvejelser for tilgængeligheden af søgefelter og de felter, der kan vises i søgeresultaterne. Se Om avanceret søgning efter relaterede poster for at få flere oplysninger.
Before you begin. To perform this procedure, your role must include the Customize Application privilege.
To create a page layout
- In the upper right corner of any page, click the Admin global link.
- In the Application Customization section, click the Application Customization link.
- In the Record Type Setup section, click the link for the required record type.
- In the Page Layout section, click the required Page Layout link.
- In the Page Layout list, do one of the following:
- In Step 1 Layout Name, enter a name for the layout and a description (optional).
- In Step 2 Field Setup, select the field characteristics, as follows:
- Select the Required check box for any fields that you want to make required.
BEMÆRK: Brugere behøver ikke vælge et felt af typen Afkrydsningsfelt, der er markeret som Påkrævet. Hvis du ønsker, at afkrydsningsfeltet skal have værdien Sand (dvs. du ønsker, at afkrydsningsfeltet skal være valgt), skal du bruge feltvalideringsregler på afkrydsningsfeltet. Se Om feltstyring for at få flere oplysninger.
- Select the Read Only check box for any fields that you want to make read only.
- Select the Always On Layout check box for any fields that you do not want users to be able to remove from their layout.
NOTE: When you create a new page layout, the Always On Layout check box is selected by default and is read-only for any field that is configured as a required field, unless a default value is configured for the field. If a default value is configured for a required field, then the Always On Layout check box is selected, but you can deselect it. It is also recommended that you select the Always On Layout check box for any fields that are configured as conditionally required. And, if you use or plan to use a dynamic page layout for the record type, then it is recommended that you select the Always On Layout check box for the picklist field that drives the dynamic layout.
For information about the Conditionally Required check box, see About Conditionally Required Fields.
- In Step 3 Field Layout, you can:
- Move fields from the record type Available Fields list to various sections of the record type Arrange Page Layout area.
Make sure you move the custom fields and the industry-specific fields you want to add to the forms. Also, if any of the fields for which you selected the Always On Layout check box in Step 2 are not already on the layout, then add them to the layout.
CAUTION: Unless a default value is configured for a required field, the required field must be on the page layout. Otherwise, anyone with that layout will be unable to create or edit a record of that type. Hvis en standardværdi er konfigureret til et påkrævet felt, kan det påkrævede felt evt. vises på sidelayoutet. På samme måde skal du sørge for, at alle betinget påkrævede felter findes på de relevante sidelayouts. Ellers vil brugere ikke kunne indtaste en værdi til de felter, når de bliver påkrævet.
- Remove the Description field from your page layout or move the Description field to another area on your page layout.
- Rearrange the information.
NOTE: These changes affect all the forms for that record type when a user with an appropriate role views the pages. However, if you update the field layout after a user personalizes the field layout for the record type, then the changes do not apply to the personalized layout. Some fields include a group of fields or multi-line fields. Avoid moving those fields around because the information itself might overlap other fields in the final layout. For this reason, the application does not allow you to move multi-line text fields, such as Description. The application uses an address template that provides the fields specific to each country. For more information, see About Countries and Address Mapping.
- In Step 4 Related Information, you can:
- Add sections or remove sections that appear on the Detail pages. The sections are the areas where users can link records to the current record.
For example, if you do not want employees to be able to link products to opportunities, make sure the Products section does not appear in the Displayed or Available Information box.
NOTE: Users can change these default settings through the Edit Layout link on the Detail page for their application. After users have edited their personal layouts, they do not see new changes to the related information made by the company administrator until they edit their layout another time.
- Change the order of the sections on the Detail pages.
NOTE: These changes affect the Detail pages for that record type when a user with an appropriate custom role views the pages.
- (Optional) In Step 5 Related Information Layout, you can:
- In the Related Information Layout field, select the appropriate related information layout for each of the related information sections on the page.
NOTE: The default layout for each related information section is the standard one. If you have created custom related information layouts already, you can select them from the list. For more information about creating related information layouts, see Customizing Related Item Layouts.
- In the New Record Layout Name field, select a layout to be used in the new record page when users create records from a list of related records, for each of the related record types that support custom layouts for new record pages.
Administrators can create custom layouts for new record pages. If any custom layouts for new record pages have been created for the related record type, then you can select a custom layout from the list.
- Click Finish.
- Assign the page layout for this record type to user roles as required, see Adding Roles.
