Description
Since WebCenter 12.1, it is much easier to do basic/ advanced customizations, using the WebCenter User Interface.
WebCenter only saves one customization at a time. After you modify an existing theme or create an entirely new customization, the previous look will be lost. However, there is a way to store your customizations and apply them again with a single click, by saving them as Themes. Using this functionality, you can easily switch between a set of different looks, whenever you like.
Procedure
All information concerning customizations can be found on help.esko.com, in the Customization Manual.
- Start customizing WebCenter according to your needs by going to Admin > Preferences > Customizations.
- When you are satisfied with your work, make sure to save your customization.
Connect to your WebCenter Web Server and browse to
Drive:..\WebCenter\WebServer\tomcat\webapps\WebCenter_Inst\custom.Warning Customizations are done per WebCenter Instance, please make note of which WebCenter instance you are customizing and/ or creating a new custom Theme.
