Activities
When you expand the highest node, you will see the existing folders. You can create all applications directly under these folders. The portal displays the content of just one of these folders.
If you want to further refine the structure of the Launchpad, you can create extra folders under the existing ones. In the portal, these folders then serve as headers for the links to the applications.
To create another folder, select the folder under which you want to create the new one. Choose New Folder. Enter a text for the new folder and choose Enter. The folder is added below the selected folder
To create applications, select the folder under which you want to create the applications and choose New Application..
Choose the application type . Further entry fields are displayed, depending on the type you have chosen. These entry fields allow you to define and select the application#s parameters.
If you want to create a description to be displayed in the portal under the link, choose:
@0Q@ with quick info Editor for the description.
If the application type selection results in the System Alias field being displayed, you need to enter a system alias .
The Inactive Applications folder serves to gather applications that are in the portal but should not be displayed. These applications are displayed in the portal in a table that the user can see when s/he changes the launchpad settings.
When you transport the Launchpad, you receive two transport requests:
- Customizing request: This contains all Launchpad settings.
- Workbench requests: This contains all Launchpad texts (folder names, link texts and descriptions that are displayed in the portal under the relevant links).
You have to transport both requests.
If you want to transport the Launchpad texts (folder names, link texts and descriptions for the applications) choose Launchpad -> Text Key. The system displays a message with the prefix of the technical names under which it stores the texts. The message long text provides further information about how to translate these texts.
