Use
In this Customizing activity, you define the applications (links to reports, transactions, URLs) for the Report Launchpad of the Buyer. This is relevant for the Buyer role for release 1.5 and higher.
Requirements
The releases before Buyer role 1.5 use a different version of the launchpad. The older versions of the launchpad use a different underlying customization. If you have added your reports to this older version of the launchpad, you can use the report APB_LPD_LPA_CUST_TO_LPD_CUST to migrate the customizing.
Standard settings
1. Select the top node if this has not already been selected. When you do this, other pushbuttons are displayed.
2. You can assign all applications directly to the top node. Alternatively, you can group the launchpad by creating new folders. The folders are used in the portal as headers for the links to the applications.
Choose New Folder. Enter a text for the new folder, and choose Enter. The folder is added below the top node.
3. To create applications, select the top node or the folder to which you want to assign the applications, and choose New Application.
4. Enter the required data.
5. Select the application category. Depending on your selection additional input fields are displayed, which you can use to specify or select the parameters of the application.
6. If you want to enter a description that is displayed in the portal under the link but is to be longer than 255 characters, choose Editor for Description to the right of the field Descript..
7. Enter the System Alias (except for URL).
The inactive applications folder is used for collecting the applications that are available in the portal, but that you do not want to display. These applications are displayed in the portal in a table that the user can view when they change the launchpad settings.
