How do I view the hierarchy or map of application pages?
You can view the hierarchy or the map of the application pages on the Screen configuration page.
To view the Screens tab, click . Screen configuration settings define the page, dialog boxes, context menus, and other elements visible to a certain user type. You must have the Access to Web application option selected for your user type, for you to see the Screens tab.

Collaboration and Identifiers: Use this section to change the contexts or pages used in Oracle Fusion Field Service Collaboration Service and to define the entity identifiers.
How's the Screen configuration page organized?
The settings are organized hierarchically and show the relationship between different contexts. All context names are links to the context layout editor pages. Links to new (not edited) or empty contexts and the links to edited contexts are shown in different colors. If you remove all the elements from a context, its link color changes from blue to red to indicate that the context is now empty. If you create a user type without copying the settings of another user type, all contexts are shown in red.The hierarchy of contexts starts from the Main menu items context that defines the navigation menu items being available or unavailable for the current user type. Each navigation menu element opens a certain page and, therefore, provides access to its functionality. If a certain page has been made available for a user type, all users of such type have access to the entire functionality implemented on that page. Similarly, if a page has been made unavailable for a user type, all users of such type don't have access to the functionality implemented on that page.
Context Layout Structure and Visual Form Editor
The links to contexts are connected with arrows showing the relation between the contexts. Hovering the mouse over an arrow highlights it in red for better visibility. Click a link to open the Context layout structure page and define the fields and actions of the context, and their visibilities for the user type. You can copy a context layout to another user type if the other user type uses the same or slightly modified layout of the same page. For this purpose, the Context layout structure page has the Copy to button, which opens the list of all user types in the application.For the form type contexts, the link leads to the Visual Form Editor page, where you can edit context layouts in an easier and more transparent manner. You can delete the default Read/Write visibility on the sections and tabs in the Visual Form Editor. Also, Read/Write visibility isn't added after migration. When the visibility condition for a property is required and the property value is cleared, the value is set to null and the visibility is selected.
Copying and sharing
If you've shared the configuration for the current user type with one or more other user types, such user types are preselected in the Copy to list. If the user type selected in the list shares its configuration with other user types, such user types are automatically selected as well. The current context layout is applied to the selected user types and it replaces the previous context layout settings, if any.
When a context layout is copied for another user type, only the current context is copied, while the rest of the configuration remains unchanged. When a context layout is copied, two separate identical context layouts are created. You can edit each layout independently without affecting the other one. However, if the destination configuration is shared with other user types, the current context layout is copied to all user types sharing the same configuration.
Example of changing the visibility
You can change the visibility of the Message Scenarios menu item to Read-write to let the user view and edit all elements of a message scenario. With the Read-only visibility, they can only view them.
