Skins MOD006556

Introduction

  • Customizer → Layout Objects → Skins

Information

  • In this module, display parameters and default settings of the skins (user interface) can be managed.

Create a new skin

Editing an existing skin

  • Open an existing skin via the listbox.

  • Edit or newly define the skin parameters.

Notes

  • Particular parameters defined in the skin can be overridden by the respective parameters at data item level (DT412) or at data field level (DT411), e.g. Symb. input field. For more information on individual parameters, see Skin Parameters

  • Symbols that are hard coded in the client/Web Client cannot be overridden by setting parameters.

    • Example: The background color of the borders of activated input fields is hard coded and cannot be changed by customizing Symb. input field active.

Assignment of a skin to a user

  • In the Users module, you can assign the skin to a user.

    • To do so, enter the number of the respective skin for the respective user in the Skin data field and save.

Notes to new and old PLANTA project design

  • Via the user menu that is stored in the skin, it is determined whether the users who the skin is assigned to work with the new or the old design:

    • User Menu MOD009DZQ - new design

    • User Menu MOD0099QC or every other user menu module - old design

  • For the desktop client, the User menu parameter is decisive; for the Web Client, the User menu web parameter applies. In both parameters both the old and the new user menu can be used.

    • Because the new design and the new user menu have been conceived for the Web Client and based on web technology, several new functions are not supported in the desktop client. Therefore, we strongly advice against using the new user menu with the new design when working with the desktop client.

  • This setting is not tied to the skin. The new design can therefore also be used in individually created skins.

  • Which user menu module is used as the new user menu is defined in the global setting usermenu_new (default: MOD009DZQ). Means: If you want to use a custom user menu module with the new design, this module must be specified in the global setting usermenu_new.
