You will now learn an interesting utility called Composite Screens in T24. These composite screens play an important role in T24. 1,2 What are composite screens? A composite screen is a collection of various screens in T24. A composite screen is divided into various frames. 3. Each frame displays a screen from T24. Each frame may contain T24 menus or Tabbed Screens or URLs or other content created through utility routines as well as creating a whole new set of composite screens. 4. These composite screens are defined in the T24 application EB.COMPOSITE.SCREEN .

1. You would be very much familiar of the browser screen that you see here. The signon screen comprises of two components namely the banner and the menu. What is the utility that is used to design your sign-on screen in T24? Yes, the sign-on screen is designed using the composite screen in T24.

What you see here is another composite screen the ‘SCREEN.DESIGNER’ . Use the Screen designer link found under the Customization Utilities option of the Admin menu. The screen designer can be used to create, edit or launch versions, tabbed screens and composite screens. This shows that various tasks can be grouped in your composite screens. Cos divides the entire browser window into frames. Each frame could contain a link or it could launch enquiries or it can even open a new contract. Cos also plays a vital role in Arrangement Architecture. So now lets learn to create composite screens in T24.

Composite screens divides your browser window into different frames. To make your understanding better, you will be introduced to the concept of frames in HTML. 1. Frames in HTML document can cause a web page to be divided into multiple, scrollable regions. In html the frameset tag can be used to define each frame region. The screen shown here is divided horizontally into two equal regions. This is a row wise split-up. The open frameset and close frameset options are used to define a frame. 2. The second screen is divided into four different frames. The top frame is further divided into two columns. Each column occupies 50% of the top frame. The bottom frame is also divided into two frames , each frame occupies 50% of the bottom frame. Lets now try to develop similar composite screens in T24.

1. Design a composite screen in T24. The browser window should be divided horizontally. The composite screen should be divided in a row-wise manner. First half of the browser window is used to launch the enquiry ACCOUNT.CLOSURE. 2. The second half is left blank


7

The application used to create composite screen is EB.COMPOSITE.SCREEN . You may also use the Screen Designer to design the composite screens. The ID of your composite screen can be any alpha-numeric text. Lets look into the fields now. TITLE – Here you specify the title for the composite screen. The text specified here will be displayed as the description text of your composite screen. You know that a composite screen is divided into frames. Now where do you specify these framesets? CONTENT.TYPE – Here you specify the content of a frame. This field has various options in it, one among the options is OPEN.FRAME. By choosing the OPEN.FRAME option you tell the system to open a frameset. ROWS – Is the frameset divided into rows or columns? If it is a row-wise separation then specify the split-up for each row. Here it is specified as 25%,* which implies that the entire window is divided into two frames. The top frame occupies 25% of the entire browser window and bottom frame occupies the remaining 75% COLS – The column wise split-up can be specified here in the field COLS Now the top frame is to launch an enquiry. Therefore in the next multi-value field of CONTENT.TYPE choose the option as ENQ. CONTENT – Here you specify the content of the frame. Specify the enquiry name here


8

Next you need to define the contents of the bottom frame. CONTENT.TYPE –By choosing the BLANK option you tell the system to display a blank space here. Why is the bottom frame left blank? ITEMS – In the blank space you can tell the system to launch enquiries, versions or it may take all unassigned requests. The field ITEMS is used to define what requests should be sent to this blank frame. The request is assigned to a window by running through each item until a valid match is found for the request. When you choose the ALL option here you tell the system to launch all unassigned requests in this frame. Now you will close the frame relevant to the open frame CONTENT.TYPE 1 (Multivalue 1).

1.Launch the composite screen by using the COS command. You will specify as COS followed by the composite screen id. 2. You could see the launched composite screen here. Now when you click on any of the given links there, your request will be launched in the blank frame 3. The request launched in the blank frame
