Re: OTM SIG User Conference 2008: Presentations

Title : Guerrilla Branding, or XSL in OTM: Customizing Transmissions and Screens
Speaker: Clay Combs - Tsol
So, you’ve configured OTM for planning, optimization, and settlement—what about look-and-feel? You want to give your customers—internal as well as external—a system that extends your brand, with your logos and colors. In addition, you’d like to help users grasp OTM more quickly and easily by streamlining a few screens. The catch? Much of what you need to do can’t be done from the user interface. You will have to become an XSL developer: a branding guerrilla.
During this presentation, we will explore the role of XSL stylesheets in formatting XML for outbound transmissions and screens. We will begin with modifications to the email tender, via a discussion of the Stylesheet Profile object. Then we will progress to screen modifications with an exploration of the Stylesheet Location User Preference, the system construct that makes it possible to assign specific screen stylesheets (read: custom screens) to a portion of your users.
From there, it’s all code: XSL, to be specific. We will conclude with a look at the language’s basic syntax and discuss best practices for implementing changes.
