Setting the Civic Platform User Interface

By default, Civic Platform 10.0.0 implements the legacy settings of the user interface. For example, if you had set the 8.0 User Interface as the default view in a previous version of Civic Platform, the Oxygen UI defaults as the view in this release.

Options:

Choose whether your agency users see the legacy V360 UI or the Oxygen UI when logging in.

Set the UI by module to migrate some departments to the Oxygen UI.

Disable the choice to switch back to the V360 UI.

The implementation of this feature uses the Standard Choice ENABLE_80_UI.

To set the Civic Platform user interface:

  1. Go to the Classic Administration page. (Accessing Classic Administration).
  2. Navigate to Agency Profile > Standard Choices.
  3. Configure the Standard Choice ENABLE_80_UI, and set the Standard Choice Value and Value Description using the following guidelines:

The Civic Platform UI Switch

If a user has permissions to switch UI (via ENABLE_80_UI configuration), the user can switch from the legacy V360 UI to the Oxygen UI using the Switch New UI link at the top right corner of the V360 UI:



When a user clicks the Switch New UI link, Civic Platform switches from the V360 UI to the Oxygen UI:



If a user has permissions to switch UI (via ENABLE_80_UI configuration), the user can switch from the Oxygen UI to the V360 UI using the Switch to V360 option on the application bar menu:



UI Switch Configuration Scenario

Let's assume your agency has the following requirements:

  • Users on the Planning Module should view the V360 UI.
  • Users on the Building Module should view the Oxygen UI.
  • Users on the License Module can switch between both UIs.

Therefore, the Standard Choice setting for ENABLE_80_UI would be as follows.

Standard Choice Value Value Description
YES_V360 Building, License
YES_HTML License
If a user's default module is not explicitly listed in the YES_V360 and YES_HTML standard choice values, then by default it will be the V360 UI only. The users and their default modules may be as follows:
  • Sue's default module is Planning, though she also has access to the Building Module. When accessing the Planning Module, she sees only the V360. When accessing the Building Module, she has the option to switch between the two UIs.
  • Bob's default and only module is Licensing. He has the ability to switch between both UIs.
  • Fred's default and only module is Planning. He only has access to view the V360 UI.
