Webcenter PS3 Spaces Taskflow Editing.

WebCenter PS3 represents the rationalization of many of Oracle's acquired technologies in the Enterprise 2.0 space, into a single, enterprise portal platform. In Webcenter PS3 spaces, lots of new features are introduced. One among them is customizing taskflow in Wecenter PS3 spaces itself. Using this feature, we can edit the System pages and change the brand and look and feel. 

 Please find the below screenshots and notes,  
 1.       Login to the Webcenter Spaces and click on ‘Administration’ Link  
 2.       In the Administration page, select the ‘pages’ tab and select ‘System Pages’ link. This page will list all the system pages and we can see two options for each page, ‘Customize’ and ‘Restore Default’  
3.       Select any system page for customizing and click on ‘Customize’ link. This option will edit the selected system page using Oracle composer.
4.       In ‘Editing Page’, we have two options, ‘Design’ and ‘Source’. We can edit the components in either design mode or source mode.
5.       Click on ‘Page properties’ button  and edit the background color.
6.       Go to the Source mode, select the region and click on ‘Edit Task Flow’  
7.       Click on any component inside the Task flow and click on “edit’ button. Customize the components based on the usecase.








 The main advantage of this feature is we can brand the pages based on the user experience and feel. The main thing we need to remember is task flow modifications we make on this option will impact all instances of the task flow throughout WebCenter. If we have done any changes and we need to revert back to the original one, go to the System page and click on ‘Restore Default’ of the edited page.

  1. Hi Gireesh,

    I would like to customise the login page for webcenter spaces by adding some Javascript functionality to the username and password fields. I logged into webcenter spaces ->administration->pages->system pages->login -> customise -> tried to edit the task flow for the username and added some javascript code there under script. I save the changes and open the login link again and it goes blank.

    I tried clicking the "Restore Defaults" link, but it still shows me a blank page. Please help. I need the login page back.

    Regards,
    C

  2. Hi CV,

    We can edit the system pages in webcenter from PS3 on-wards. But if we want to add any javascripts or css in the page, please create an html markup and add the javascript and css there. This will get apply after loading the page. If you need any properties while loading the page, please add the javascript and css in page properties.

    Login in to the Webcenter spaces using welcome page, go to Administration-->Pages --> System pages. Click on restore defaults on the Login page. If you are facing the issue again, please restart the webcenter spaces server and try.
