Using Cascading Style Sheets

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used for specifying the appearance of text and other elements of a web page from a single file called a “style sheet”. A CSS is typically used to provide a single library of styles that “cascade” down to a large number of related web pages. The CSS lets you easily make changes to the appearance of the related web pages by changing the specification of elements in the CSS. The changes cascade down from the style sheet to the web pages.

CSS functionality lets you modify the look and feel of the application’s User Interface (UI) and brand the application to be in-line with the clients’ existing suite of applications. This functionality applies to the desktop application and the Employee Transaction Manager (ETM).

The UI changes offered through CSS functionality lets you add custom logos to page headers and update colors and styles of text. The UI customizations that are made through CSS will not reset by future upgrades of the application.

Besides letting you design custom cascading style sheets, the application provides a set of standard style sheets, including:

  • Workforce Management Core Style Sheet: This style sheet contains all the core styles for the desktop application.
  • Workforce Management ETM Core Style Sheet: This style sheet contains all the core styles for ETM.
Note: Due to the complexity of the application displays, and the amount of detail displayed on the screen at one time, you are not permitted to alter the sizing and the positioning of elements when designing custom style sheets.
