Specification Editor Layouts Tab

Use the Layouts tab to define which elements appear in UIM for the entities created from the specification.

See “Settings Tab" for information about the fields that appear in the UI Settings area.

Field Use

Display Name

Enter the name that appears in Design Studio editors and in UIM.

Design Studio supports multiple languages for this field. The field adjacent to Display Name displays your list of languages. You can define a display name for any language you select from the list.

If your preferences are set up to work in one language only, the system displays only the [default] option. See “Defining Language Preferences" for more information.

Page/Panels

Select the UIM run-time application page layout type.

You can define different attributes for characteristics when they appear 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.

The options available in this 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.

Available column

Displays the elements that are available to be displayed as fields in the run-time user interface, but which are not currently selected. Use the arrow keys to move the elements between the Available column and the Selected column.

Selected column

Displays the elements that will appear as fields in the run-time UI, and includes the characteristics (defined on the Characteristics tab) and all derived data. The fields are displayed in the order in which they appear in the product. Use the up and down arrow keys to reposition the elements in this column.

Select a characteristic to view the user interface (UI) settings. See “Settings Tab" for more information about the fields in the UI Settings area.

See UIM Help for information about how to use these fields in the UIM run-time environment.
