User interface refinements

You might want to make refinements or additions to the consumer application user interface (UI) even when the UI changes are auto-generated.

After you design an OSLC interaction that auto-generates the user interface changes, your review of the application UI might reveal that revisions are warranted. For example, you might want to edit the labels on the new tab, table window, or push button. Or you might want to adjust the positioning of UI elements. Use the Application Designer application to modify or add UI elements.

During interaction design, you can specify that all service providers are to be available for the interaction in the consumer application. In these cases, a Select Container window is displayed when the interaction is initiated. The window is used to specify which service provider or container to use for the interaction. You might want to provide help grid text for the Select Container window. For example, you might add help grid text to indicate that the choices represent projects, or databases, or some other resource container. You also might relabel the window title to add clarity to what the user is to select.
