Create Layout
The layout editor is where you design the dialog that your customers see. To open it, select the cog icon in Jira and go to Marketplace apps > UniPortal > Configuration. You can also select Edit layout next to a connection on the Connections screen.
What you configure
- The Dialog variant selector chooses which dialog you edit: Default (everyone else) or one of your variants. Each one has its own settings. See Dialog Variants.
- General settings hold the logo, header, HTML blocks, and external links. See Logo & Header, HTML Block, and External Links.
- Configure tabs holds the request tabs of every connected instance, with their columns and counters. See Request Tabs.
Save your changes
Save and Cancel apply to the whole screen. If you have unsaved changes and you switch the dialog variant, move between General settings and Configure tabs, or leave the screen, a window asks what to do: Cancel to keep editing, Discard Changes to revert and continue, or Save and Continue. These buttons appear only where you can edit.
Who can edit
Only the master instance can edit the layout. On a secondary instance, the form is shown but disabled, with the banner “This area is configured on the master instance.” and a Go to configuration link to the master. There, the variant selector still lets you view each variant, but you can’t create, edit, reorder, or delete variants.
The form is also read-only on any instance while the REST API of a connected instance is disabled. To learn how master and secondary instances work, see Architecture.
