Custom HTML Shell

You can add a custom HTML shell around the page by inserting HTML above and below the table generated by the Certain Platform. The display shell is declared as HTML5, so you can include HTML5-specific code, such as the Role attribute. You can specify the HTML to be added to the Document Head, Header, and Footer in these three sections:

In each section, you can add data fields by clicking the place in that section where you want to place the field, selecting the field in the Data Fields drop-down list, and clicking the relevant button: <HEAD></HEAD>, Shell Header, or Shell Footer.

For example, if you want to insert a row at the top of the page and a column on the left and right of the form fields, use the following basic HTML elements: HTML to include above the main page <table>

<html><head><title></title></head>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td colspan="3">Top column</td></tr>
<tr><td>Left side column</td><td>
<!-- End Custom Header Shell -->
HTML to include below the main page <table>
<!-- Begin Custom Footer Shell -->
</td><td>Right side column</td></tr></table>

Adding Images to a Custom Display Shell
If you have uploaded any images under Plan > Configure > Display > Assets, you can add them to any of the three sections of your Custom Display Shell:
1. Click the place in the section where you want to place the image.
2. Select the image in the Available Files drop-down list.
3. Click the button for the area to add it to: Shell Header, Shell Footer, or <HEAD> </HEAD>.
4. That pastes in the Relative Path to the file, which is displayed when you select the file.

You can see (and copy) the same path by right-clicking the image on the Plan > Configure > Display > Assets page.

For example, if you want to insert a row at the top of the page and a column on the left and right of the form fields, use the following basic HTML elements:

<html><head><title></title></head><body> <table> <tr><td colspan="3">Top column</td></tr> <tr><td>Left side column</td><td>...</td></tr>
HTML to include below the main page <table>
<!-- Begin Custom Footer Shell --> ```
