How to Customize Web Interface using Web Screen Painter

Web Screen Painter (WSP) lets you customize web forms to the requirements of your site without programming.

Some of the Knowledge Management forms cannot be customized in the design view of WSP. For these forms, there are alternate approaches to providing the customization, such as:

• Document view—the document template that is used when creating the document determines the contents of this page. These templates can be modified on the administration tab under documents, document templates.
• Knowledge categories document list—you can modify this page by using Web Screen Painter, but it is also managed by user preferences. The “preferences” screen provides personalization per user for defining which document properties displays in the document list and how many documents display per page.

Follow these steps:

1. Start Web Screen Painter.
2. Verify the Prerequisites.
3. Choose the Form to Customize:
   • Create a Form.
   • Open an Existing Form.
4. Customize a Form

   WSP always saves changes on the server where WSP is installed. When you save a file, it becomes accessible to other WSP users in a preview session, but is invisible to typical CA SDM users. This is because WSP saves all files in the site/mods/wsp directory, and this directory is not used by a typical CA SDM session.

5. If you are making web form changes in the test system, Migrate from Test to Production System.
6. Publish Form Changes.
7. (If necessary) Delete Forms After Publishing.
