Skin form - CSS tab
About New Mixins Components CSS History

Use this tab to add additional style sheets to the skin. You can also enable and disable automatic generation of the workform css on this tab.

Additional Style Sheets

As a best practice, avoid adding custom style sheets to your skin. If you are currently using a custom style sheet:

for custom or non auto-generated controls, you can add these styles to the skin rule as custom styles. See Skin rule — Custom.
to create additional styles for layouts and controls, such as grids, tabs, buttons, and links, you can create new style formats in the skin rule.

If you choose to add a custom style sheet to the skin:

Click Add Item and type the file name. Click the magnifying glass to create a new file.
Click Save. Note the caution regarding maintainability.

The order in which you enter style sheets is significant; the bottom style sheet is applied last. Select the number beside the file name and drag and drop to re-order additional sheet sheets.

To delete a style sheet from a skin, select the style sheet that you want to delete and click Delete Link .

Advanced

You can enable and disable automatic generation of the workform css.

Beginning with 7.1, you can no longer create a non auto-generated skin. Update non auto-generated skins to auto-generated skins.

Work

Displays the name of the css/workform that defines styles for the user forms defined though harness rules and section rules.

If you upgraded an existing skin, the css/workform is automatically generated. To disable automatic generation, click the Disable Generation link.

If you want to apply a different skin to a harness within your application, enable automatic CSS file generation and paste the css/workform file name in the Style field on the Scripts and Styles tab of the Harness rule.

As a best practice, apply styles through the skin instead. Using the skin ensures that the styles apply uniformly to all work item harnesses throughout your application. You can add styles to the skin, which auto-generates the CSS, and makes it easier to maintain and upgrade.
