Modify Flexfields Using Page Composer

You can use Page Composer to modify flexfields specific to a page.

Before You Start

In Page Composer, you get the Design view by default to edit pages. But on some pages, you must use the Source view. Set the Source View for Page Composer Enabled profile option (FND_PAGE_COMPOSER_SOURCE_VIEW) to Yes so that the View menu is available for you to switch between the Design view and the Source view. You can find the profile option in the Manage Administrator Profile Values task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Modify Extensible Flexfields

Here's is what you do:

  1. In Page Composer, open the page with the flexfield you want to modify. By default, you get the Design view to modify pages. But for this page, you must use the Source view. Set the Source View for Page Composer Enabled profile option (FND_PAGE_COMPOSER_SOURCE_VIEW) to Yes so that the View menu is available for you to switch between the two views. You can find the profile option in the Manage Administrator Profile Values task In the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Modify Descriptive Flexfields

Here's what you do:

  1. In Page Composer, open the page with the flexfield you want to modify. Set the Source View for Page Composer Enabled profile option (FND_PAGE_COMPOSER_SOURCE_VIEW) to Yes so that the View menu is available for you to switch between the two views. You can find the profile option in the Manage Administrator Profile Values task In the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Note: Flexfield segments can't be edited using their individual component elements. They can only be edited from the properties panel of the <descriptiveFlexfield> element they belong to. To find these components, open the properties panel of the descriptive flexfield, switch to the relevant tab, and search using the unique identifying information. For example, to find a context sensitive segment, open the properties panel for the flexfield and go to the Flexfield Context Segments tab. Search for the segment using its Context Value and Segment Code.
