Overview The purpose of this document is to define and guide how to create composite screen from Tool Box and T24 internal browser. A Composite screen is a collection of screens in T24 placed in one browser window, but in different frames. The individual frames can be set to accept requests for certain enquiries or transactions enabling multiple contract screens and enquiry screens to be utilized without obscuring one another. Individual screens within a composite screen can also be set to contain T24 menus, Tabbed Screens URLs or other content created through utility routines as well as creating a whole new set of composite screens. Composite screens are defined in the T24 application EB.COMPOSITE.SCREEN and can be invoked using the command COS which can be run through menus, toolbars and on the T24 command line. Composite screen can also be build using Tool Box. We accomplish this by making use of the composite screen builder. The composite screen builder allows the user to create composite screen for use with the T24 Browser. Composite split the screen into sections which can have the content customised e.g. contracts, enquiries ,Menu’s , Tab screens etc.

EB.COMPOSITE.SCREEN The Composite screen application EB.COMPOSITE.SCREEN is used to define composite screens. This application comprises of a title for the composite screen and a large linked multi value set for defining the contents of each frame and makeup of the frames of the composite screen.

We can define different Content Types as listed below with in each of the frames. Each of these are defined in detail in the corresponding section on CONTENT.TYPE

OPEN.FRAME: Create a frame set. Tells you are splitting this frame into further frames. CLOSE.FRAME: Closes the frameset. ENQ: This item is an Enquiry. (For more information check heading on Reference) TXN: This item is a contract screen. UTILITY: This allows you to call a browser routine. (For more information check section utility under Field Definitions)

TAB :This item is a tabbed screen. (For more information check heading on Reference) COS : This item is a composite screen. MENU : This item is a menu.

It can be specific requests of application and version or enquiry, or it can be set to take all unassigned enquiries by setting it to ENQ or all unassigned requests by setting it as ALL. Furthermore it can be set to take everything except enquiries by setting it to NOENQ. The request is assigned to a window by running through each item until a valid match is found for the request. If none are found a new window is launched. For detail explanation refer to the section on ITEMS

Architecture/Design

How Frames Work In Composite Screens The trick to building a composite screen is to break it down into constituent large blocks, and build from them. In this document, we will see how to build the below structured composite screen ( 4* 4 composite screen) .

Application Name

We always start with the Frame definition .We do this in the first ‘Open.Frame’. In our example we will divide the page in to four equal squares .

Multivalue 1 – Open .Frame This means that we are going to put 50%,* into the Rows column. We use ROWS because we are specifying a horizontal space from the top. And we have only 2 rows in our example of equal size. We use 50%,* because the first ‘bloc’ takes up 50% of the row (horizontal) space (that’s what the * signifies) and the second half by default takes the rest of the space.

Note: The frameset column size value can also be set in pixels (cols="200,500"), and one of the columns can be set to use the remaining space (cols="25%,*").

Therefore, the first multivalue will look something like this :

CONTENT.TYPE.1

Multivalue 2- Open. Frame

We are extending CONTENT.TYPE.1 multivalue to expand to CONTENT.TYPE.2 to define the next ‘Open Frame’ item. We have to specify the split ‘Columns’ field (COLS.2).

We are going to put 50%,* into the Column. We use COLUMN because we are specifying a vertical space from the top. And we have only 2 columns in our example of equal size. We use 50%,* because the first ‘bloc’ takes up 50% of the columns (vertical) space (that’s what the * signifies) and the second half by default takes the rest of the space.

There already exist a user guide which explains “How to create Composite screen from Tool box” .For more information ,kindly refer to the document Composite Screen Builder . Now let us see how to create a simple 3 *3 composite screen using Tool Box. To Start off ,Launch Toolbox and Sign in using a valid used id and password. Click on to Composite Screen Builder under Designers and Wizards option to launch the screen builder wizard.

Screen Layout

TEMENOS T24 User Guide Page 46 of 68

Application Name

Step 4 – Change Size

Now we have to define the Frame Size. Depending on the screen layout we have to select the Width or Height or both for each of these frames.

To sizes can either be in pixels or percentages. To use pixels simply type the number in the “Other” field. For other percentages simply type the percentage in the other field and suffix it with “%”. An understanding of how HTML frames work would be ideal. However, to summarise: • In a two column/row layout the right frame or bottom frame respectively can not have a specific size. • In a tree pane layout the right and bottom most frame can not have a specific size. checkbox will be enabled. Turning off this property will update the ‘NO.FRAMES’ attribute in the composite screen definition. If ‘Use Frames’ is not set, compatible versions of Browser will render the composite screen without using frames. For example, this feature should be UNCHECKED for screens designed for Internet banking applications. If the Browser version does not support the ‘no frames’ option, then this checkbox will be disabled.

In our case, we are selecting 50 % height for all the frames.

TEMENOS T24 User Guide Page 47 of 68

Application Name

Frame Size

Each of the above frames are divided in to 50% each and in out example we are having 3 frames. This means that ,the complete page size needs to be beyond 100% in order to get all the 3 frames to appear but this is not possible in reality , so only the first 2 frames will be appear when we launch the composite screen. There will be no space for the third frame to appear since our page size is 100% in total.

Refer to the heading CONTENT.TYPES for detail explanation

Dynamic Content Dynamic content defines the return type within each frame .It defines what will appear in the frames when the user starts navigating e.g. committing transactions, viewing enquiries ,drill down enquiries etc. This can be one of the following

Dynamic Content Dynamic Content defines what requests should be sent back to this frame. It can be specific requests of application and version or enquiry SPECIFIC ENQUIRY, or it can be set to take all unassigned enquiries by setting it to ALL ENQUIRY or all unassigned requests by setting it as ALL CONTENT. Furthermore it can be set to take everything except enquiries by setting it to NO ENQUIRY. The request is assigned to a window by running through each item until a valid match is found for the request. If none are found a new window is launched. • All Content - all transaction and enquiry screens will appear in the specified frame • All Enquiries - all enquiries will appear in the specified frame • No Enquiries - all content, except for enquiries will appear in the specified frame • Specific Enquiry - this frame will only return the specified request (Refer to section ITEMS for more detail explanation)

Enquiry

!EXT.Variables An enquiry can be run to display information for the !EXT customer, account or any selection criteria you define. To define a !EXT selection you must first run an ENQUIRY called !EXT.XXX where XXX is the name you will give to the !EXT selection item. The data you enter in the first selection will then become the !EXT selection criteria. You can then reference this value in another enquiry selection by entering !EXT.XXX in the selection criteria column. Browser will support setting these !EXT.XXX variables either with values from another field or with a literal value (such as “123”). So not only can the variables be set in one Enquiry and used in others but the content can be set from a field value or a literal as well as from selection data. The variables can also then be used in context based workflows such as pre-filling fields on a Version from the Enquiry output and populated variables.. These variables can be used in a version in the AUTOM.NEW.CONTENT field. Literal values can also be set too. It can be a single literal eg “ACCOUNT” or a string literal with spaces eg “NEW !EXT ACCOUNT” or , “100069”, “My Customer”, as long as the literal is in speech marks. A list of values can also be displayed as long as the values are surrounded by [ ] e.g. [A] [B] [C] The ENQUIRY called USER.VARIABLES allows the user to list the !EXT content of any !!EXT variables

Composite Screen Command Line When launching a Composite Screen (using the COS command) we should be able to accept data on the command line. E.g. "COS CUSTOMER.DISPLAY 100069" where 100069 is the customer Id that would then be used as a parameter to the composite screen frames. The user should be able to specify parameter place holders within their composite screen definition (e.g. similar to EB.ERROR records that use ‘&’ characters). For example, in the Content Type the user can have “ENQ” and the Content set to “CUSTOMER-LIST @ID EQ &”. When running this composite screen using “COS CUSTOMER,SCREEN 100069” this would replace any ‘&’ characters with 100069. Similar, for Content Types of TXN the user could enter “CUSTOMER I &” to get a frame with the customer record in input mode. If the user does not supply any arguments then the base enquiry/application should be displayed so that the user can enter the relevant data.

Tabbed Screens – Enquiry Command Line Invocation • Running an enquiry with parameters via the command line. The user can specify the actual tab number of the enquiry to run, along with the selection criteria.

Column Width In A Enquiry Screen

The ENQUIRY screen above is utilised in the following Composites showing the word wrapping effect when the COL.WIDTH field is used

The ENQUIRY field COL.WIDTH will only have an effect in Enquiries in Browser and enables a user to specify the number of pixels wide that an ENQUIRY column can be. The width is not absolutely fixed, but is a minimum width (if there is enough space) with the following restrictions: Column widths will grow to accommodate the widest word or image in the column; a word being any sequence of characters not containing a space. Columns with left over space created by larger than required values in the COL.WIDTH field will shrink if there is not enough space in the window, frame or fragment to display all columns. Fields defined as being in the same column will be restricted to having the same COL.WIDTH. For more information kindly refer to document PB-BrowserEnquiries
