I am not able to exactly answer your question, but at least I have an explanation:

in the CRM 7.0 UI, a new feature called "UI designer" was introduced. This allows to create "UI models" which overlay the characteristic layout which is defined in the knowledge base. So business people in CRM can create different look & feel (including a paged layout) for different scenarios without touching the product model which may come from ERP. Therefore, the central area where the cstics are rendered has been completely redesigned to be able to handle these UI models. 5.0 changes may not work in 7.0 anymore.

Hi all,

I also have similar requirement in characteristic.jsp for CRM 70. IPC Web UI, I need to include/display check box's beside to each and every characteristic.

When I try to modify the ipc/tiles/characteristic.jsp, I can't see my changes reflected. But when I modify header.jsp, I could see the changes.

When I hit the URL http://hostname:port/ipc/ipc/init.do?showmodulename=true, I see the output as

/admin/kblist/kb.jsp. I dont see the jsp names in ipc web ui like http://hostname:port/b2b/b2b/init.do?showmodulename=true.

My requirement is to display check box's in IPC WEB UI and introduce a custom button in it and when that button is clicked a custom action needs to be triggered.

Since I am new to IPC , Can some body throw some insight and provide me some documents/ideas to handle this requirement.

thanks

Hi Srinivas,

if you have not customized much up to now then characteristic.jsp is not using to display characteristics.

By standard it is taking Uimodel.jsp and dynamically displaying all characteristics.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Hi Sudhir,

Are you sure the changes you want to make in the "characterstics.jsp" is the required one. As there are other "characterstics.jsp" file in other folder.

Try to get exact folder name by running your ipc application "/init.do?showmodulename=true" and it will display JSP location.

I hope you are making changes in right file but confirm with folder name by above mentioned method.

Hi Ram,

Thanks for quick response.

I folow your massage as "/init.do?showmodulename=true" but is showing only the KB Area filed.

please guide me where i start the changing.

Are you talking about the /ipc in b2b or b2c etc... or ipc application?Make sure you are changing the right application.. just in case.... From what you have explained, you are talking about the IPC (ipcwebapp) application.

Also, these JSP's notoriously have many includes inside includes. The includes are very generic and there is an include for every data type. You may have to check in the right data type include.

Another option: if you work closely with the functional team and the VC (variant configuration) design time team, you can check if the Characteristic you want to hide can be made invisible at runtime in the VC design itself. It is technically possible do so in the design time (KB) itself.

Hi Ram,

I want to hide the char name startwith VC_GLB_CAtalog_no filed from iPC schreen so that i have to change in characteristics.jsp file.but i put the code in Charactristic.jsp file but that one is not reflected but.IPC CRM5.0 ,its working perfectly , now this file is not calling by default ,i thing is any other file is calling and visible the characteristics AREA.

but same cas HEADER and STARTUSbar also reflecting in CRM5.0 and CRM7.0.

IN IPC CRM5.0

file location;

ipc/component/charactristics.jsp this file is how is it configured i dont know but this file call to ipc/tiles/Characteristics.jsp

ipc/tils/characteristic s.jsp call to ipc/tile.characteristic.jsp in this way files flow.

but CRM7 IPC.

not happening but header and status arae flows same as crm ipc 5.0

i am pasting some piece of code..in ipc/tiles/characteristics.jsp

if (!uiContext.getUseGroupInformation()){ // XCM setting: No group to display

//out.println("inside");

if (groupName != null && !groupName.equals(strCharGroup)&& !groupName.equals("$BASE_GROUP"))

{

%><tr><td><b><font size="2%"><%

%><%=groupName %><%

%></font><b></td></tr><%

}

else // In case of no group DefaultGroup Name to be displayed

{

if(!groupName.equals(strCharGroup)&& groupName.equals("$BASE_GROUP"))

{

if (count == 0)

{

%><tr><td><b><font size="2%"><%

%><isa:translate key="ipc.defaultgroup"/><%

%></font><b></td></tr><%

}

}

}

strCharGroup = groupName;

}

if( count % columns == 0 ){

%><tr><%

}

%><td width = "<%= (100 / columns) %>%"><%

CharacteristicUI.include(pageContext,

uiContext.getJSPInclude("tiles.characteristic.jsp"),

uiContext,

currentInstance,

characteristicGroup,

characteristicUIBean,

csticsArea,

customerParams);

%></td><%

if( count % columns == (columns - 1) || !characteristics.hasNext() ){

%></tr><%

}

visibleChar = true;

//here ends the layout of one single characteristic

++count;

if( characteristicUIBean.isRequired() )

{

required = true;

}

} // If NOT Catalog Number Characteristics

}//end of while

please look at above code is working in CRM5.0
