Overriding the Default Page Style Sheet

You can override the default page style sheet by accessing the page properties dialog box of any PeopleSoft page. When you override the default page style sheet, you are not changing the default style classes for the page; you are indicating to the system to select the default style classes from a different style sheet. Note these points when overriding the page style sheet:

• Changing the page style sheet overrides the default style sheet only for the selected page.

• Only the custom and default style classes that comprise the current page style sheet—whether default or override—are available for use by the page and its elements. Style classes on other style sheets are inaccessible.

• If you select a page style sheet that comprises only free form sub style sheets, the system constrains all subordinate page elements to their default style classes.

• If you select a page style sheet that comprises only free form sub style sheets, the page designer renders the page using the application style sheet, not the free form style sheet.

To override the default page style sheet:

1. Open the page in PeopleSoft Application Designer.

2. Select File, and then Definition Properties to access the Page Properties dialog box.

3. Select the Use tab.

4. Click the Page Style Sheet drop-down list box and select a style.

5. Click the OK button and save the page.

6. Select Layout, View in Browser to preview the page.

   Unlike the page designer view, this option renders the page with all style classes, including free form styles.
