The user interface for the Identity Reporting Module runs within a Web browser. It uses familiar components and controls to present information and allow users to perform actions quickly and easily.
How styles are rendered: The Reporting Module uses a set of default styles to control the appearance of the reporting user interface. However, you can provide your own styles to customize the user interface. The reporting client WAR supports customization through a file called custom.css. It looks for this file in a directory called novl_rpt_custom within the home directory of the user that started the application server on the server where the application server is running. For example, with a SLES install, this would be root, so the home directory is /root. If that file exists, the reporting client uses it to override any styles for the reporting user interface.
To customize the user interface using the custom.css file:
Create a new directory in the home directory of the user running the server.
For example, if you are running as root, run the following command:
mkdir /root/novl_rpt_custom
Add your custom.css file to the novl_rpt_custom folder created in Step 1.
If the application server is already running, refresh your browser to see the changes. Otherwise, restart the application server and clear the cache from your browser.
You can determine whether the file can be found by entering the following URL:
http://[report.server]:8180/IDMRPT/custom/custom.css
How the Back button functions: In the Identity Reporting Module, the Back button takes you to your previous application or to the last Web site you loaded, not to the last page you visited within the Reporting Module. All navigation within the Reporting Module takes place within the initially loaded page.
