Markup Language Skeleton Customization › Overview

Overview

This chapter is divided into three sections:

• Model Customization

  Model customization covers the way changes are made within a CA 2E model that affect how the skeletons (or a specific skeleton) are generated. Customization changes made within a CA 2E model are re-used when a skeleton is regenerated.

• Global Customization

  Global customization covers areas where making changes affects the way all skeletons are generated. These include changing Web Option control values and changing the contents of the Markup Language Skeleton Syntax file. Changes made at a global level affect the way the HTML generator works and the data it uses to generate a skeleton. Changes made at a global level normally affect only skeletons generated after the customization changes have been made.

• Specific Customization

  Specific customization covers changes made at the model, field or screen element (screen field) level. Specific customization can include the addition of page-specific images, the conversion of input status fields to drop-down boxes, the inclusion of hyperlinks, and so on.
