Guidelines for Using Page Composer

For certain applications, use Page Composer to configure application page components, such as page content and layout for other users. Here are the changes you can make using this tool.

  • Add, move, delete, show, and hide fields

  • Add an EL expression to a field

  • Rearrange fields

  • Change a page layout

  • Manage saved searches

  • Modify attributes for a flexfield on a page

Before modifying pages, you must do these tasks:

  • Understand the typical workflows for working with application changes.

  • Verify that the page can be modified. To do so, you can check if either the Edit Pages or the Edit <Page Name> Pages menu item is available in the Settings and Actions menu. If not, then that means you can't modify the page. Click your user image or name in the global header to open the Settings and Actions menu.

  • Confirm that your privileges are sufficient for modifying the page.

  • Activate a sandbox that has the Page Composer tool in it. Make sure the context layer of your sandbox is supported by the page you want to edit. Otherwise, you won’t be able to edit the page.
