The Screen Painter tool allows users to customize screens by adding, modifying, or deleting fields, which can be arranged in any order. To change the layout format, users can access the Screen Painter functionality by selecting Configuration > Setup > Screen Design > Screen Painter. From there, users can select one of the option buttons to access the desired screen. It's important to note that some screens may require selecting a form mode before proceeding. Additionally, auto-conditions can be defined for each field, allowing for client-specific intelligence through PL/SQL programming. Before saving changes, users should ensure they have selected the appropriate modes and screens for the changes to take effect.

Accessing Screen Painter: Select Configuration > Setup > Screen Design > Screen Painter
To access the Screen Painter functionality, which allows you to customise screens throughout a system, you need to select Configuration > Setup > Screen Design > Screen Painter. This will take you to the Opera Screen Painter screen, where you can select one of the option buttons (Control Panel, Profile, Reservation, Activities, Business Block, Gaming Enrollment) to access the screen (form) to be painted.
The Screen Painter allows you to add, modify, delete, and rearrange fields. You can also update multiple screens with a single click, and apply auto conditions to allow for client-specific "intelligence" to be added through PL/SQL programming. To create each group for the List of Values, select Configuration > Screen Design > List of Values Maintenance > List of Values Group Maintenance. To create each code for the List of Values, select Configuration > Screen Design > List of Values Maintenance > List of Values Value Maintenance.
It's important to note that forms in Screen Painter may look different from the forms in the actual OPERA Application. Changes made in Screen Painter are not immediately reflected, and some tables may need to be updated manually. Screen Painter makes extensive use of context menus, which can be accessed by right-clicking on a canvas in Designer or an active/selected element.
To save changes, right-click on a blank area of the canvas and select "Save" or press Ctrl+S. To exit Screen Painter, right-click on a blank area of the canvas and select "Exit" or press Ctrl+X.

Using the Graphical Layout Editor: Check Utilities > Settings > Screen Painter Tab
To change the layout format in the screen painter, you must first ensure that you have the screen painter component installed on your PC. If you are using SAP, you will need to load the screen painter component of SAPgui as it is not part of the regular install. You can do this by installing SAPgui from a CD or by downloading it.
Once you have the screen painter component installed, you can access it by going to Utilities > Settings and clicking on the Screen Painter Tab. Here, you will need to check the box for the Graphical Layout Editor. This should be present by default.
In the Screen Painter, you can customize certain screens throughout the system. Fields can be added, modified, deleted, and rearranged to better suit your needs. Changes can be saved by right-clicking on a blank area of the canvas or by using the Ctrl+S shortcut. To exit the Screen Painter, use the Ctrl+X shortcut or right-click and exit.
It is important to note that Screen Painter can also be accessed in ASP mode and applied to chains. Additionally, auto-conditions can be defined for each field, allowing for client-specific "intelligence" to be added through PL/SQL programming.

Saving changes: Right-click on a blank area and select 'Save' or use Ctrl+S
Saving your changes in Screen Painter is simple. To do so, right-click on a blank area of the canvas and select 'Save' from the menu that appears. Alternatively, you can use the Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut to save your changes. This will bring up ScreenWiz, which will prompt you to select the modes to which you want to save your changes. You can then select the screens you want to apply the changes to by checking the left column and clicking 'OK'.
It's important to note that you should create the LOV for any UDF you plan to add to an OPERA screen before entering Screen Painter. This can be done using LOV Maintenance. However, if you add a UDF to the canvas without configuring an LOV, you'll need to manually enter the appropriate SQL statements for the LOV you're adding.
Once you've saved your changes, you can exit Screen Painter by right-clicking on a blank area of the canvas again and selecting 'Exit', or by using the Ctrl+X keyboard shortcut. Always remember to confirm that your changes have been correctly applied before closing the program.
The saving process in Screen Painter ensures that your work is securely stored and can be applied to the desired screens. By selecting the appropriate modes and screens, you can tailor your changes to your specific needs. Remember to follow the recommended steps for adding UDFs to ensure a smooth process and avoid any issues with LOVs.

Auto Conditions: Define these for each field when screen painting
Auto Conditions can be defined for each field when screen painting. This allows for client-specific "intelligence" to be added to OPERA through PL/SQL programming. When defining an auto condition, you must first select the field to which you want to add the auto condition.
There are three types of auto-conditions: Entering Field, Exiting Field, and Validate Field Value. The Entering Field auto-condition is activated when a user navigates to the field. The Exiting Field auto-condition is activated when a user navigates out of the field. The Validate Field Value auto-condition is activated when the user has finished typing text into the field. This trigger is then used to check what information was entered against a pre-defined format.
Both fields and labels can be manipulated using the auto-condition functionality. However, button canvasses are not screen paintable. You may, however, add auto conditions to validate the Save, OK, and Close buttons. To set these conditions, right-click on the button. The Item Properties screen will appear with the Auto Conditions tab displayed. The Button Clicked option button will be selected and cannot be unselected. In the text entry area, add or update the SQL statements required to add validation when the button is selected. When a code is added to an auto condition, it must be compiled by selecting the Update/Compile button. This checks that the syntax is correct and updates the code within the PLL/PLX runtime file for the form.
