Defining Specification Layouts

You define layouts for specifications to determine the data elements that appear as fields in UIM. You can define layouts for the characteristics that you define for the specification, and for all modeled and derived data elements of the entity.

To define layouts:

In a Specification editor, click the Layouts tab.
In the Page/Panels field, select a page type for the specification.

You can define different attributes for a characteristic when it appears on different types of pages. For example, you can define an edit mask for a characteristic when it appears on an edit page and a display mask for the same characteristic when it appears on a summary page.

Note:

The options available in the Page/Panels field are defined in the ora_uim_mds project. You must import and open this project and the ora_uim_model project in your workspace before modeling UIM entities in Design Studio.
Select the elements that you want to appear as fields in the run-time user interface.

To select elements, you can:
- Select elements in the Available column, then click the arrow to move them to the Selected column.
- Shift-select multiple elements to move them as a group.
Remove elements that you do not want to appear in the user interface.

Select an element the Selected column then click the arrow to move it to the Available column.
Change the order in which the elements appear.

Select an element in the Selected column and then click an arrow to reposition the element.
For Edit Panel layouts, change the distribution of the elements in the layout.

Do any of the following:
- Right-click in the Selected Elements area at the desired location and select Insert New Row to create a new row.
- Right-click in the Selected Elements area on an existing row and select Delete New Row to remove an existing new row marker.
(Optional) To return the layout to the default version, click Reset.
From the File menu, select Save.
