You need the privilege "Customize term management" to access this page.
It's possible to customize the layout of the term edit page based on your needs. You can hide fields, add or remove tabs, and divide the page up into sections. For example, you might decide that you prefer to have linked terms on the front tab, and want to move certain fields to another tab.
The following illustration shows a page layout configuration and the resulting layout on the term edit page.
The layout Components list includes components that you can drag to your page layout. These include:
Component |
Description |
---|---|
Tab group |
A row of tabs. |
Tab or Section |
A tab or a section depending on where you drag it.
You use sections to group fields that are on the same page. A section can have a separate title and read-only status. |
Field |
A field can be a system field or a custom field. You use fields to view or edit attributes of a term. |
To add components to your page layout, follow these steps:
-
Navigate to Terminology > Customization > Term Edit Layout.
-
Select a component from the Layout Components list then drag and drop it on to a component in the Page Layout list.
-
To add a tab group, select the Tab Group component and drag it anywhere in the Page Layout list.
-
To add a tab, select the Tab or Section component and drag it to a Tab Group component.
-
To add a section, select the Tab or Section component and drag it to a tab or section component.
-
To add a field, select a field from the System fields or Custom fields directory and drag it to a tab or section component.
Note
Components in the page layout list should turn green when you drag layout components over them. If a component turns green, you can drop new components inside it. If a component doesn’t turn green, it you can’t drop anything inside it. For example, you can’t drop a "Tab or Section" component inside a field.
Your changes take effect immediately. To see your changes, navigate to Terminology > Filter and open a term.
-
To reorder the components in your page layout, drag them up or down in the Page Layout list.
For example, you can change the order of the tabs in a tab group, move a new section to the top of a page, or change the order of fields on a tab.
To remove components from your page layout, drag them out of the Page Layout list and back into the Layout Components list.
You might remove components such as tabs and fields to reduce clutter on the term edit page. Always remove components if you've deleted their counterpart from the database, for example if you delete a custom field.
You can change attributes of components in your page layout. For example, you might want to change the display name of a tab, make the contents of a tab read-only, or display the fields horizontally.
To edit components in your page layout, follow these steps:
-
Navigate to Terminology > Customize > Term Edit Layout.
-
Select a component in the Page Layout list.
-
Edit one of the attribute fields that appear after you select a component.
Depending on which component you select, you can change one or more of the following attributes:
Attribute
Relevant Components
Description
Display name
tabs, sections
Change the title of the tab or section.
Read only
tab groups, tabs, sections
Make everything inside the component read-only.
-
If your component includes fields, all of those fields become read-only.
-
If your component includes tabs or sections, you'll need to set the read-only status of those sections to "inherit." This way, they inherit the read-only status of the parent component.
Use a horizontal layout
tabs, sections
Arrange the fields in a row instead of a column in the tab or section layout.
Hide the label
fields
Hide the display name of a field on term edit page.
Your changes take effect immediately. To see your changes, navigate to Terminology >Filter and open a term.
-
If you completely mess up your page layout, you can reset it to the default that comes with the Acrolinx Platform. To reset your page layout, remove all components and restart the platform.
To reset your page layout, follow these steps:
-
Remove all components from your page layout. To do this, drag each component back into the Layout Components list.
-
Restart the Acrolinx Platform with the following command:
kubectl -n acrolinx annotate coreplatforms acrolinx acrolinx.com/suspend-
You can use the following to wait until the Acrolinx Platform restarts again:
kubectl -n acrolinx wait coreplatform acrolinx --for condition=Ready --timeout 600
When you sign into the Dashboard again, you should see one section at the top of the page and a tab group with six tabs below it.
If you move your Acrolinx installation to another computer, you can back up your layout configuration and restore your term edit layout on another computer.
Acrolinx stores your layout configuration in the terminology database. When you back up your terminology database, Acrolinx saves your layout configuration long with your terms. To move your layout configuration, you just need to follow the standard procedure for creating and restoring a backup of your terminology database.
