Style sheets

For some applications, you may want certain kinds of fields, sections, or tabs to be presented differently from others. You may want some fields to present data with a different font or another kind of field to have a label that is a different color. You may want some sections to have a different colored title bar. If you do want to do such things, you will want to do them not just in one form, but consistently throughout your application.

IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities provides a way to do this in the form of style sheets. Fields have a property named Label Style Class (described in Form field properties) that can determine what the field's label looks like. Fields have a property named Data Style Class that determines what the field's data looks like. Sections and tabs have a property named Style Class that determines their appearance.

The value for these properties is a name of a style sheet that has its own properties associated with it. To view, edit or create style sheets, you use a tool named the Style Sheet Editor. For more information, see Configuring the user experience.
