Work With Templates in a Container

Now we'll look at an overview of containers.

You can easily relocate or remove a template from a container. You can also add templates to the default set. You can also have more than one container for a given page layout and add conditions for the page layout by user role.

Move or Remove a Template in a Container

Let's first look at how you move or remove a template in a container.

For this example, we'll use the Service Request dynamic container.

  1. In the VB Studio explorer, navigate to App UIs > Oracle Fusion Service UI Extension App > Service > ec >case > edit.

    The dynamic container is displayed.

  2. In the Dynamic Container explorer, you can view the following:

    • Extension: View the different layouts contained in the container. Each case represents a layout.

    • Templates: View the different templates in the container view.

  3. Choose a case from the list, and in the display templates area, hover over a template.

  4. Move a template by clicking the up or down arrow.

  5. Remove an item by clicking the Remove Item icon.

  6. Preview the layout by clicking the Layout Preview icon:

Now we'll add a new case, or container then add templates to it.

  2. A new case appears in the properties page similar to the following:
