Standard Skin rules

Your system contains several standard skin rules, most with availability set to final (). You can copy them (using a new name) and alter the copy. These skins differ primarily in appearance, not behavior; your choice of which to use, or which to copy and adapt as a starting point for your application's skin, is mostly a matter of taste. (Some older standard skins might be less complete than skins designated for use with composite portals.)

To review the appearance styles defined in a skin, use any of these approaches.

• As a best practice, associate a single skin with your application. By default, a portal points to the skin specified in the application, ensuring that all portals in your application have the same look and feel. Select the skin in the User Interface, Skin field on the Application form's Definition tab. The default skin is pyEndUser71.

• You can override the application setting for a specific portal by updating the Skin field on a portal record's Skins tab. Log in to the application using an Operator ID that is, through the access group, associated with that portal rule. You can use this setting to override the application setting.
• To override the application or portal settings when running processes from Designer Studio, set the Using skin preference.
