Main Page Customization

The main page means the HTML related to the side menu bar, title bar, and the settings in Axpert. This can be changed as per the style required by the user. For example, the user may want a different title bar, top menu bar instead of a side menu bar. The user may change the style, color, and fonts on the main page. The user may want a completely different style of the main page. In such cases, the main page HTML can be customized to suit needs.The steps to do are as below:

• Copy MainPageTemplate.html your own HTML. For example as MyMainPage.HTML. This file will be available in the aspx folder.
• Change the contents of any part of code in MyMainPage.HTML.
• In Advanced config, set the value of property “ApplicationTemplate” to MyMainPage.HTML.

Do’s and Dont’s while changing the HTML code :

• loadAndCall is a generic function to load CSS/JS files dynamically and execute the callback to initialize on successful files load. This section’s instructions are to be strictly followed in case of both new/cloned templates since this section covers application-level settings and objects for logged-in users.
  • render template function should be called from loadAndCall callback function to render the template(Important)
  • loginToNodeAPI function should be called after renderTemplate(Important)
  • Templateinitialization should be done after loginToNodeAPI
    • As part of template initialization user info and settings will be available as part of appGlobalVarsObject._CONSTANTS.axpertUserSettings object.
    • As part of template initialization menu configuration will be available as part of appGlobalVarsObject._CONSTANTS.menuConfiguration object.
    • As part of template initialization search configuration will be available as part of appGlobalVarsObject._CONSTANTS.search object.
    • As part of template initialization history configuration will be available as part of appGlobalVarsObject._CONSTANTS.history object.
