Configure the cart layout

Configure cart layout records to define functionality for widgets or screens in the shopping cart.

Avant de commencer

Role required: admin

Procédure

1. Navigate to All > Service Catalog > Catalog Definitions > Maintain Cart Layouts.
2. Select a widget or screen.
   • Cart widgets: Item Ordering Widget, Shopping Cart Widget, or Item Ordering Widget (Order Guide)
   • Preview screens: Cart Preview Screen, Cart Preview Screen (Two Step), Cart Preview Screen (Wish List), or Cart Preview Screen (Classic Mobile)
   • Order status screens: Order Status Screen or Order, Status Screen (Classic Mobile)
3. Update the Title field to change the title that appears on the widget.
4. Leave the default Target value.
   Do not change this value because it identifies the cart element being defined.
5. Update the other sections of the cart layout record, as required.
   The availability of these sections varies for each widget and screen record.

   • In the Components section, select the components to display, such as delivery times, item descriptions, and prices.
   • In the Columns section, select which columns to display, such as the item description column, delivery time column, or price column.
   • In the Buttons section, select the buttons to display, such as Add to Cart, Edit Cart, and Delete Item.
   • In the Button Labels section, enter new labels to replace the default button labels.

     A new label is used on all screens that the button appears on. For example, the Continue Shopping button is used on several screens, so changing its label affects all those screens.

6. If required, configure the widget and column macros.
7. Save the record, and then test the results of your configuration by ordering items from your service catalog.

   Some settings and properties in your instance can override or affect your cart layout.

Cart layout considerations

When you enable cart layouts, service catalog properties are impacted. Consider the possible outcomes and alter the settings or properties to achieve the cart layout and functionality you require.

Some of these properties are impacted when you use cart layouts. For example, with the order status screen, the When to show prices and sub-totals on the Service Catalog Cart (glide.sc.price.display) property overrides cart layout settings for displaying prices.

Tableau 1. Table title

Property	Impact
Allow ESS users the option to cancel their requests from the checkout screen. [glide.sc.checkout.cancel]	Overridden when the Cancel Request check box in cart layout settings is selected. If this check box is selected, the Cancel button is displayed even if the property is set to No.
Enable cloning requests during checkout. [glide.sc.allow.checkout.clone]	Not used (deprecated) if cart layouts are enabled. Replaced by the Clone Checkoutcheck box in cart layout settings. The Clone Checkout check box is cleared by default for new instances. For upgraded instances, the check box is set to the existing value of the glide.sc.allow.checkout.clone property.
List of roles (comma-separated) that can use the quantity selector in the shopping cart [glide.sc.allow.quantity]	Overrides any relevant cart layout settings.
Show the request item number for each line item on the checkout screen (default false). [glide.sc.checkout.request.number]	Not used (deprecated) if cart layouts are enabled. Replaced by the Request Item Number column check box in cart layout settings.
Show the 'Back to Catalog' button on the two-step checkout screen. [glide.sc.checkout.twostep.back]	Not used (deprecated) if cart layouts are enabled. Replaced by the Back to Catalog check box in cart layout settings.
When to show prices and subtotals on the Service Catalog Cart. [glide.sc.price.display]	Overrides any relevant cart layout settings.

Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

Some widgets or screens also have column macros that define the horizontal layout and configuration of shopping cart contents.

You can configure these macros to alter the display order of elements, or hide elements, within the widget or screen. You can also create new macros to implement any extra requirements.

Procédure

1. Navigate to All > Widget Macros > Column Macros related list.
2. Click the order number entry of a macro to edit its display order, or to activate or deactivate it.

   

3. Click Update.
4. Click the Widget / View Macro entry of a macro to view its functionality settings.
   You cannot edit functionality settings for default macros, but these settings can be a useful reference for creating your own widget macros.

Create macros for cart layout

Create macros for cart layout records using Jelly scripts to define customized behavior and display within a widget or screen.

Avant de commencer

Role required: admin

Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

Macros that you create do not affect upgrades because customized widget functionality is isolated from general cart behavior.

Procédure

1. Open the relevant cart layout record.
2. Navigate to Widget Macros or Column Macrorelated list.
3. Click New.
4. Enter details for the macro.

   Tableau 2. Macro form

   Field	Description
   Name	The name for the new macro.
   Active	A check box to indicate whether the macro is displayed or not.
   Description	A summary of how the macro is used.
   Active	A check box to indicate whether the macro is displayed or not.
   XML	The Jelly script to apply for your macro.

5. Save the macro record.

Exemple

This example demonstrates the script to add a Requested for reference field as a widget macro to a cart layout record.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
    <j:set var="ref" value="sc_cart" />
    <j:set var="jvar_ref" value="${jvar_cart.getRequestedFor()}" />
    <j:set var="jvar_ref_display" value="${jvar_cart.getRequestedForDisplayName()}" />
    <tr>
        <td colspan="3">
            ${gs.getMessage('Requested for')}:
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="3" style="padding: 4px;">
            <g:catalog_requested_for />
        </td>
    </tr>
</j:jelly>

4. Clear the Use cart layout check box to display the configuration fields for that item.
5. Set the item configuration field values as required.

   

6. Click Update.

Override cart layouts for items

Service catalog enables you to use additional methods to configure cart behavior or layouts, which override cart layout record settings.

For example, your cart layout record settings can hide item prices, but you might decide to display the price of the Sales Laptop. In that case, you would set the relevant configuration values on that catalog item. Be aware of the impact of these additional methods, to ensure that your cart behaves in the way you want.

Remarque :

If you are migrating to cart layouts, you can have defined additional settings and properties that impact your cart layout settings.
