How to Customize table style for Hands On Guide published output format in Enable Now ?

[former_member1218972]

hands-on-guide-sample.jpghands-on-guide-settings.jpgIssue: We are generating the published output as a Hands On Guide in Enable Now (shared screenshot below). We want to make some updates to the table style but are not able to do the same in the Documentation settings.

1. Change the grey fill color of the column headings (Explanation and Screenshot) to a different color.
2. Change the table border color and width.
3. Change the width of each column in the table

Option Explored Already: We changed the Table Styles in Text Styles and added the same to Documentation settings of Hands on guide, but this is not reflected in the output document

I'd be wary of changing any of the files in the Macrosets. They seem to get overwritten every update so you need to re-do your changes. If you don't mind re-doing your customization every 6 months that's OK, but...

Maybe you can put in a Customer Influence Request asking for better/easier customization of the documents.

Hi Purnima,

these changes require a bit of digging into the javascript files which are used to create the Hands On Guide. They go further than the simple customizing options.

If you are not ready for this, please reach out to an SAP Enable Now consultant and ask for help.

The hands on guide files are located in the macroset resource, so right click that and open the folder. There you will find DocEngineHandsOn.js which contains the script for creating Hands On Guides.

1. Column header colors are in the Document.CellBgColor for the header

2. Table border color I didn't find but width is Document.CellWidth

3. Column width is using the row_2_columns style which is made up of single cells so same as above. Or you can create your own table style with different options.

Afterwards, make sure to right-click the modified resource in Producer and choose 'refresh object' from the context menu, so Producer "sees" the modifications. Then upload and publish the changes.

Please have a look at the Learning Journey for consultants, it contains the course SEN 300 for consultants which includes this level of customizing details.

Also, I am sure we have consultants in the community who will be happy to help you.

Take care,

Kristina
