To modify a system dialog window, you must export the library.xml file
and modify the XML file in a text editor.
Before you begin
Do not modify the library.xml file
while other applications are using it.
About this task
System dialog windows, such as the Change Status window,
are shared by multiple applications and any changes you make apply
to all applications that use the dialog. If you do not want to modify
the window for all applications, copy the XML code for the dialog
element and use this as a template for a new window that is specific
to an application.
Procedure
- In the Application Designer, click the Export
System XML option in the Select Action menu.
- In the Export System XML window, select
the Library option and click the Export XML icon. The library.xml file opens in a new
browser window.
- Save the library.xml file to a local
file and open it in a text editor.
- Locate the dialog element that you want to change in the
XML file and modify as required.
- Save the XML file.
- In the Workspace of the Application Designer, click the Import
Application Definition icon on the toolbar.
- Browse to the local copy of the library.xml file
that you changed and select it. The modified XML
definition is saved to the database and the changes that you made
are now available to all applications.
