Overriding system-generated pages

In order to demonstrate what you can accomplish using page builder in the Skedulo Pulse Platform, we will use the Arcade Games example and take you through the process of creating an object, overriding system-generated pages, and then configuring how collected data is presented in the list view.

For more information about each of the steps below, click through to the linked articles.

1. Create a custom object

Create the new Arcade Games custom object. Skedulo will automatically generate a set of page templates as well as a resource configuration, a validation schema, and a basic list configuration.

2. Add custom fields

Add custom fields to the Arcade Games object so that you can input the data you need when you create a new record. By default, all the custom fields you add here will be rendered on the -create, -edit, and -view pages.

3. Configure the global navigation bar

Before you configure your -create, -edit, and -view templates, it can be helpful to configure the global navigation bar in order to make it easier to engage with your data. For example, you could add links to the Create page and the List view page.

4. Configure the default pages

Override the default -create, -edit, and -view templates and configure the content you want displayed using the components available from Storybook. All the system-generated pages can be found on the Platform Pages page.

Overriding the default -create template

Override the system-generated arcade-games-create template to configure the layout of the fields on the Create record page.

Before	After

Overriding the default -edit template

Override the system-generated arcade-games-edit template to configure the layout of the fields on the Edit record page. Please note, if making changes to the autoform fields, you must ensure that all the fields you included on the -create template are also included on the -edit template.

5. Choose which columns are visible on your default list view page

The default list view page will not contain any of your custom fields. If you want to view any of the data from your custom fields in the list view, you must manually add the columns you want to be displayed on the Edit default columns page.

6. Configure how your content is displayed in the list view page

Edit the column templates to configure how the data is presented within the list view. For example, by adding hyperlinks, or lozenges, or changing the format of the text in a column.

7. Override the default -list template

Finally, in order to further enhance the usability of your data, you can override the default -list template to include features like bulk selection or a button that links to your -create page.
