Key Page Layout Region Properties in OAF

Whenever you create a pageLayout region , pay special attention to the following properties:

• Auto Footer - Always set this to true so the Applications-standard privacy and copyright links render in your page.

• Help Target - If you want to display help text for this page when the user selects the Help global button in your page, you must specify the help target (often the name of the help file) to display here.

• AM Definition - This is where you specify the root Application Module for your page. Note that you must specify the fully qualified name, such as: oracle.apps.fnd.framework.toolbox.tutorial.server.SearchAM

• Function Name - Always specify the securing function for the page.

• Window Title - This text value is displayed in the browser's window title.

• Title - This text value renders as the page header. It's also used as the page's name if breadcrumbs are displayed.

• Form - Always set this to true for a pageLayout region (this is the default setting), and never add additional child form beans to your page. The OA Framework supports only 1 form per page.

• pageLayout Components - Pages include special "named" components (also called named children), one of which is the branding image . To associate a branding image with your page, select the pageLayout region or the pageLayout Components node in the Structure pane and use the right mouse button to select New > productBranding from the context menu. JDeveloper automatically creates an image item whose Image URI property should be set to <imageName>.gif.
