Use the Page Edit Mode Interface

This topic describes the features and controls you can use to modify an existing application page.

To access the page edit mode, click the Configure Page icon in the global header. For more information see Access Page Edit Mode.

This example illustrates the user interface of the page edit mode. Details are in the surrounding text.

When in page edit mode, the interface consists of these items:

• Toolbar

• Workspace

• Attributes Panel

Using the Toolbar

The toolbar spans the top of the interface below the global header and displays the following information and controls.

Page Element	Description
Page Name	Displays the name of the page as it appears in the application, such as Parcel Details.
Status	Indicates the status of the current page. Draft: indicates the page is currently being edited, but the current changes are not available for general use. Draft mode becomes enabled when you click Save when editing a page. Published: the page is available for general use with the most current modifications included. In the development or testing environment, a published page is available for developers and testers to access and test. In the production environment, a published form is available for end users to access. Note: The status is displayed only if you are modifying the page or you have previously modified and published the page.
Save	Saves the current changes to the page to store them, without publishing them. Clicking Save puts the page in draft mode.
Publish	Click to create a sandbox and publish the current changes in the sandbox so that the page reflects the changes for runtime access and use. Note: The Publish button is available only after your have clicked Save.
Cancel	Click to exit the edit mode without saving or publishing any changes.
Close	Click to exit edit mode. The Close button appears when there is no change on the page to be saved or published, such as after you have just published page modifications.
Manage Sandbox	Click to access the Oracle Fusion Applications Sandboxes page where you can view the status of your sandbox and refresh your sandbox if needed. When modifying an existing page, the sandbox exists only during the publishing process request. While you modify a page and save any changes, the system tracks your changes in an internal metadata storage object. When you click Publish, the changes are added to the sandbox, and the sandbox is published. Note: The Manage Sandbox button appears only if the sandbox associated with your form layout becomes out of sync during a publish request, requiring a refresh. Identify the sandbox for your page modifications according to this naming scheme: PSCSC_<page name>__sb_<number of publish requests> For example: PSCSC_ParcelDetailsInformation__sb_2 For more information on sandboxes, see Working with Sandboxes.

Using the Workspace

The workspace displays the content of the page that you can modify. Select a field on the page to display its attributes in the Attributes panel.

Using the Attributes Panel

The Attributes Panel contains the attributes you can modify for a selected page element, such as a field.

This example illustrates the Field Attributes panel when modifying existing pages. Details are in the surrounding text.

Note: In the current release, only fields can be modified on an existing page.

You can view and set these field attributes:

Page Element	Description
Label	Use to modify the existing label for the page. Note: The length limit for modified field labels on existing pages is 100 characters. Note: Do not change the meaning of a field label in an attempt to use it to reflect a value different from its intended purpose. For example, don’t change “Flood Zone” to “School Zone.” Each field may have logic behind it, dependencies in workflow, dependencies related to fees, and so on. The ability to change field labels is intended to support minor changes in terminology.
Hidden	Use to hide a field on the existing page. When the switch is on, the associated field is hidden. Note: Fields that are set to be required can’t be hidden.
Business Object	The name of the database view object associated with the page.
Field Name	The name of the field as it appears in the REST payload, which you can view using a describe command for the associated REST resource.

The Business Object and Field Name values are read-only values provided for informational purposes to help implementation teams assess any areas affected by a page modification, which affects:

• Sub pages using the same view object field

• Reporting

• Auditing

Note: Changes made to a field on an existing page may affect fields appearing within field groups added to intake forms if they share the same view object.
