Use
The Homepage Framework enables you to create overview and area pages, thereby providing your employees easy access to Web applications (services) that run in the SAP Enterprise Portal. These pages group and describe the different services and contain hyperlinks with which they can be started. Various components such as Employee Self-Service or Manager Self-Service can use the framework. It offers the following functions:
- Add short descriptions for the individual services that will appear on the user interface
- Edit the link texts of the hyperlinks that the employees use to start the services
- Emphasize certain services (for example, because there is an urgent deadline)
- Deactivate services
- Display employee-specific information as dynamic links (for example, "Nine days of leave will expire by <Date>")
A role homepage can also be described as an area group page. From a technical point of view, it has a hierarchical structure (see the following example):
Area Group Page
- Area 1
- Subarea 1
- Service 1
- Service 2
- Service 3
- Subarea 2
- Service 4
- Service 5
- Area 2
- Subarea 3
- Service 6
- Subarea 4
- Service 7
- Service 8
- Subarea 5
- Service 9
- Area 3
- Subarea 6
- Service 10
- Service 11
- Service 12
- Service 13
You can define several area group pages under one header. You can define this header in the homepage framework.

Activities
We recommend you make a graphical design of the areas and services you want to implement. This way, the hierarchical relations between these elements will become apparent. You should also make a list of the necessary resources You can then implement this concept using the IMG activities below.
For technical reasons, there are two views for the IMG activities in this section:
- The first view contains SAP's standard entries. Use this view to add your own entries.
- The second view contains each entry that is entered in the first view. Use this view to change SAP's standard entries.
- The views in which you assign areas, subareas and services, and define the order in which they are displayed, are an exception. In this case you need the first view only to look up SAP entries you want to hide or extend. For more information, see the documentation of the relevant IMG activities.
