Manager Layout: Detail

This page is accessed via Configuration and Administration > User Configuration > Manager Layout. Then select the Detail tab.

You can configure a manager's View, Edit or new Screen. Use the Manager Layout Detail page to configure the manager layout on which you're working. The manager you selected to configure is populated with the values from the original manager layout you copied.

Note: Public manager layouts cannot be modified.

Within each Manager Layout, you can work with the following:

• Tabs, tab labels, and the order in which they appear
• Grids within a page
• Adding or editing fields on a tab
• Replacing a field with another field
• Setting a default value for a field
• Adding a section to a tab
• Adding grid flattened fields to a page
• Adding new fields to an inline grid
• Re-sequencing fields in an inline grid
• Adding a field to a secondary grid. Fields can be added to the detail page but not the summary grid.
• Deleting a grid

Note that the following are available for adding and deleting, but they cannot be configured:

• Text Templates
• Involved party grids
• Transactional Events (cannot be deleted)
• Remarks

Configuring a Manager

Icon	Description
	Click the edit icon to configure a field, tab, or section. The edit icon becomes available only after the option button of the field you want to edit is selected.
	Where available, click the icon instead of the text to add a tab or other object.
	Click the delete icon to remove a field, grid, button, or tab from a manager layout. Oracle Transportation Management prompts you if you really want to delete the object. A deleted field, grid, button, or tab does not appear on the final manager page. A deleted object will not perform any business logic which could cause an error to occur. An Add button appears next to any deleted function so you can add it back later.
	Moves the tabs left and right so that they appear in a different order.
	Moves the section up or down so that it appears higher or lower on the page.
	Replaces an existing field with one of your choosing.
Uneditable Content	This text replaces a field that is not allowed to be changed by the user.

There is a Show Finished Button check box on each tab that allows you to have a Finished button appear on that tab. This only applies to manager layouts for creating new objects, not editing.

Note: This will have NO effect if there is code written within the tab that stops you from continuing on to the next tab unless a field is entered. All this does is determine if the button is displayed or not.

Configuring an Object

1. Click on the option button next to the Field or Grid you want to configure.
2. Click the appropriate icon.

   Note: You do not need to click a option button when configuring a tab.

For example,

• Once you have an option button selected, click on the icon to configure the field or grid.
• To delete a field, grid or tab, click on the icon. This object will no longer be available on the manager.

Configuring Page Tabs

A manager layout can be configured to not show individual tabs of a manager. To delete a tab from a manager click on the tab you want removed and click on the icon. Click the icon to insert the tab back onto the manager.

Note: Deleting an entire tab could cause errors if Oracle Transportation Management uses business logic from it. Generally, do not delete tabs with Uneditable Content within it. For instance, the Shipment Manager's Equipment tab should not be deleted.

Configuring Grids

A manager layout can configure individual grids on a page.

Note: Not all grids can be moved. For example, if there is logic which enables a grid to be optionally shown, you cannot move that grid. 

Note: When adding pseudo fields to a grid, the new column is added to the beginning of the grid. To avoid data mismatch errors, do not move the column.

There are two types of grids in Oracle Transportation Management: an inline grid and a second page grid. Each type is configured differently. An inline grid is one that allows you to enter values on the main page, while a second page grid provides a button to take you to a secondary page where you can edit the grid. When working with a manager layout, inline grids have fields that you can add or hide. Second page grids have a Configure Grid button that takes you to a second page where you can configure the grid. For inline grids the Configure Grid is a field label and not a button, since you can edit the grid on that page. Both grids may be further edited by clicking the Edit Grid Properties button after selecting the Configure Grid option for the grid.

An inline grid is a simple grid that has all its fields stored on the same initial page. To configure an inline grid, click on the option button that represents the grid. For instance, click the option button next to Configure Grid : Reference Number on the shipment identification tab. Once the option button is selected, Oracle Transportation Management highlights all the fields within the grid. To delete an entire inline grid section from a page, click on the icon for the grid. Click the Add button to insert the inline grid back onto the manager.

A second page grid is a grid that contains more fields then an inline grid can display. Second page grids have an area on the initial page where selected fields are displayed. Click on the Configure Grid option button to configure fields within the grid. This directs you to the second page grid. Configure this section just like you would individual fields.

Configuring Fields

A manager layout can configure individual field characteristics on a page. Each field on a manager layout has its own attributes and is unique to the type of field you are configuring.

You can configure the following types of fields:

• Text Fields
• List Fields
• Check Box Fields
• Create New, View, and Search page fields
• Date and Time Fields
• Unit of Measure Fields
• Number fields

Select the option button of the field you want to configure and click on the icon. This brings up a unique page based on the type of field being configured. To delete a field, click on the icon. This object will no longer be available on the manager. Finally, to make the field you deleted from the manager available, click on the Add button.

Moving Grids

You can move an inline grid or the summary page of a second grid page from one tab to another.

1. Select the Configure Grid option button for the grid you want to move.
2. Click the Move Grid button.

Adding Fields

1. Click the Configure Section option button.
2. Click the Add Field button.

Adding a Section

To add a section to the tab, click the Add Section button.
