Use

In this IMG activity, you can define:

  • Logical links for all pages
  • Groups for work center links
    The work center menu is structured by using work center groups that define the individual links that are shown in a menu. A work center can have many groups assigned to it. You must assign links that are to be part of a work center group.
    Work center link groups do not appear on the UI. They are used to group links instead of assigning each link individually.
  • Work centers
    You must define all links that are shown in the main area of the navigation bar as work centers. When work center groups are assigned, they become menus. If not, they are like any other link.
    A work center can have many different groups assigned. Groups can be reused.
    Links of assigned work center groups appear on the UI. Additionally, you can assign a link that starts automatically when you launch the work center page.
  • Groups for direct links
  • Navigation bar profiles that contain work centers, direct link groups, work area components, and generic outbound plug (OP) mappings.
    The navigation bar profile is assigned later to the business role. The profile name is to be specified as a value of the function profile CRMUI_NAVBAR.
    Note
    You have defined the generic outbound plug (OP) mappings that are necessary to navigate from one object to another.
    Further notes
    You can see the switch IDs in this Customizing activity, even when you have not activated the corresponding business function. The system checks during runtime if these switch IDs are activated. If they are not activated, they are not considered when the navigation bar is started.

Requirements

Standard settings

In the standard system, the following entries are delivered to make the UI Configuration Tool accessible in the CRM WebClient UI. These entries need to be assigned to a system administrator role.

  • Logical Links: BSP-DLC-VC (View Configuration) and BSP-DLC-FC (Fact Sheet Configuration)
  • Work Center Link Group: CT-ADM-SR
  • Work Center: CT-ADMIN

Activities

Create Links in the Menu Area

To create an entry in the menu area of the navigation bar, proceed as follows:

  1. Define logical links.
    • You can choose between the following link types: Link, Work Center, Launch Transaction, and BI Report. Currently, only Link and Work Center are supported.
    • Choose Work Center if the link is to be shown in the main section of the navigation bar.
    • Choose Link if the entry is to be part of a work center menu, or if it is to be part of one of the following groups: Shortcut, direct link, or quick create group.
  2. Create a work center link group. Determine the following data:
    • Group ID
    • Group type, that is Create, Search, or Report, depending on the info block where the link is shown
    • Meaningful description
  3. Assign all logical links that you want to appear from this menu entry.
    You can also determine the sequence and whether the entry is to be displayed in the menu or not. Links that are not displayed are available for the work center page, but cannot be selected in the menu.
  4. Create a work center.
    The logical link that is assigned to the work center is the one that is triggered when the menu entry is chosen (as opposed to expanding the menu entry without clicking).
  5. Assign the work center link group that you created in step 2 to the work center you created in step 4.

Create Links in the Shortcut Area

To insert links in the shortcut area of the navigation bar, proceed as follows:

  1. Create a direct link group. Determine the following data:
    • Group ID
    • Group type
    • Title
    • The title defined in this group appears above the shortcuts in this group.
    • Meaningful description
  2. Assign the logical links to the direct link group.
    You can also define the sequence and whether the entry is to be displayed in the menu or not.

Create Navigation Bar Profile

  1. Create a navigation bar profile. Determine the following data:
    • Navigation bar profile
    • Meaningful description
    • Default link ID
      The default link ID for business roles is Home.
  2. Assign work centers to the profile.
    Work centers are reusable parts that can be used in many different profiles.
  3. Assign direct link groups to the profile.
    Direct link groups are reusable parts that can be used in many different profiles.
  4. Assign components to the profile.
    You must configure all components that you want to make available in your navigation bar profile.
  5. Define the generic outbound plug (OP) mappings. Determine the following data:
    • Object type, for exmple, BP_ACCOUNT or WRAPPED_LIKP
    • Object action, for example, Display
      You can select between Search, Display, Edit, Create, Print, and Excecute.
    • Target ID, for example, MD-BP-OV or ERP-DLV-OV

Define Generic Outbound Plug Mapping

Cleansing Cases

You can use the function 'cleansing cases' to merge duplicate accounts. Proceed as follows if you want to include this function in your business role:

  1. Select your navigation bar profile under Define Profile.
  2. Choose Define Generic OP Mapping.
