Panels are added to user-defined screens to organize screen data into logical groupings. Panels can be used to not only display information pertinent to an application, but also provide applicants with the ability to enter important data during the application process all within the same screen.
Lifecycle Management Suite panels are categorized as either System-Defined or User-Defined. System-Defined panels provide pre-built functionality that cannot be modified or configured. A User-Defined panel has various configurable properties, such as the title, the number of columns that display, as well as the specific fields that appear within the panel.
The attributes for each panel are defined on the Panels tab. This tab displays an overview of each panel configured to appear on the screen, as well as provides administrators with the ability to Add, Edit, and/or Delete a panel.
The grid within this tab displays the panel type, as well as the Label, Group Name, Column Span, and Maximum Height values defined for the panel in the General panel attributes.
The following table provides an overview of each panel type, including a description of the panel, identification as a system-defined and/or grid panel, as well as the compatible screen type:
