Inserting Style Classes into Style Sheets

You can insert style classes into any standard style sheet or sub style sheet.

To insert a style class into a style sheet:

1. Open the style sheet in which you want to create the new style class.

2. Select Insert, and then Insert Style Class.

3. Enter the name of the new class.

   Note:

   Style class names can be upper case, lower case, or mixed case.

   Note:

   If you import a lower case or mixed case style class into a PeopleTools version prior to PeopleTools 8.53, it may not work as expected.

4. Copy attributes from another style class by selecting the style class name from the Copy Values From Style Class drop-down list box.

   Leave the Copy Values From Style Class field empty if you want to set all style class properties manually.

5. Click the OK button.

6. Configure style class attributes, as necessary.

   See Setting Style Class Attributes.

You can remove a style class from a style sheet by highlighting the class and pressing the Delete key. This action does delete this instance of the style class from the database.

Note:

For efficiency, clone style classes from other style sheets. Then, either use the Insert menu or paste the style class into the new style sheet. At that time, the system enables you to enter the new style class name. Be aware that when copying style classes, the copy or clone will not contain any of the related language data associated with the original.
