Hi Folks,
I have two requirements from client.
1. Main grid customization
In this the requirementt is to divide main grid into three different divisions
a. Parts list
b. Part details window to be embed in second division
c. CAD related to Part should get open in third division using cad viewer.
As shown in snapshot:
i managed to create division by doing some modification in ItemGrid.html file in Aras installed directory.
If user clicks on any part in first division then the detail page related to that part should get open in second div and the cad part should get open in 3rd div .
2 User Starting page.
Requirement is to create a starting page which has "My Inbasket"," My Discussion", "My Desktop" and "Search Center" in it. As shown in below snapshot.
If you guys have any suggestions or ideas to how to fulfil the requirement then please share it.
Thanks in advance.
Rahul.

Hi Rahul,
You may find that it is ultilmately easier to build your own replacement search grid with the required functionality.
I did something like this for viewing the document relationships to items and then seeing the related files. I did this with a custom form using HTML and CSS to lay it out and javascript handling. The form was developed as a single HTML field with all of the required code/html contained in the field and displayed on the form.
Rather than replace the basic search grid I created a new Item Type called "Document Browser" which I only used as a place holder in the Table of contents as a default form.
I think you will struggle to show all of the tearoff window detail in the second pane but there is no reason you can't put some of the information in or even all of it in a "list" type fashion with a "Property" | "Value" approach.
A bit the same with the CAD viewer. I personally don't have much experience with CAD viewer activity. You can see what Aras is doing and try to pick bits of it out but I suspect a chunk of it is probably buried in internal server methods.
This link shows the document browse function in use in a demo database.

As for the start page I think each of the Inbasket, Desktop, Discussion and Search centre are separate files so you could probably combine them into one custom form and display it via a "dummy" item type. I haven't tried this and again not sure if it is the best approach.
Hope this helps.
Brian.
