Requirements Overview
How to make a popup available for customization using Page Composer?

Solution Overview
The solution is laid out in the form of step by step instructions to make any popup available for Page
Composer based customization.

The example provided utilizes the page modification framework to conditionally set the properties of
the attributes based on the Project Status. Page Composer will be used to access the properties on
the Edit Basic Information window in the General tab of the Manage Financial Project Settings page.
Since the Edit Basic Information window is a modal popup, some preliminary steps need to be taken in
order to make the popup accessible to Page Composer.

Additional information on how to manage this type of page modification can be found in the
Configuring and Extending Applications guide.

The implementation steps are valid starting with Release 12.

Implementation Steps
1) Enable a Sandbox.

2) Navigate to the Project Financial Management work area. Select a Project and navigate to
the Manage Financial Project Settings page from the panel drawer.

3) Select Customize Pages from the dropdown menu by the user name on the top right of the
screen.

4) Click on the Edit button in the Basic Information region and click on the Cancel button to close
the popup.

5) Select Structure on the top left. Find the Source region and expand it. The Source is typically
docked at the bottom of the window by default. If not available, select Source from the View
dropdown on the top left of the page.

Solution Limitations

The ProjectStatusName binding can only be used within the General tab in the Manage Project
Financial Setting page. It is not available to control the properties within the other areas, i.e.
descriptive flexfields in the Additional Information tab.

This solution calls for disabling the Show Component property which will remove the field from the
page based on the Expression. In Release 13, the Disabled property will also be available. A similar
solution can be utilized to set the Disabled property so that the fields remain on the page but cannot be
updated.
