Activating the Minimal Grouping of Collaboration ServicesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

The Content Administration portal role is assigned to your user.

Context

To make collaboration services available, SAP delivers predefined command groups. The command groups contain commands for launching the services. The applications that provide collaboration services are represented by configuration objects (types). To make the required services available as menu items or links in the applications in question, you must assign the corresponding command group to each of the following types:

Type

Application (iView)

Launch of Services

clpType

Collaboration Launch Pad (CLP) or Room Member List

Menu items in the Collaboration menu

userType

Any application that displays users with the context menu

Menu item in the context menu

userDetailsType

User Details iView

Links to the user interface of the User Details iView
Note

The minimal grouping of collaboration services is intended for the mandatory basic configuration of the collaboration capabilities.

Procedure

  1. In the portal, choose Start of the navigation path Content Administration Next navigation step Collaboration Content Next navigation step Collaboration Launch Pad Administration Next navigation step Command Group End of the navigation path.

    For the minimal basic configuration of collaboration services, the following command groups are relevant:

    • clpMinimalGroup

    • userMinimalGroup

    • userDetailsMinimalGroup

    Each of these groups contain the following commands: Send E-mail , Create Room , and Ceate Task .

    Note

    Copy the existing command groups to a new namespace. In this way, you prevent any changes to the command groups in the SAP namespace being overwritten during the next system upgrade.

  2. Below Collaboration Launch Pad Administration , choose the class Type .
  3. One after another, call up the types listed below in editing mode and assign the corresponding command group to each one in the contextmenu_commandgroup field:

    Type

    Command group for the minimal basic configuration

    clpType

    clpMinimalGroup

    userType

    userMinimalGroup

    userdetailsType

    userDetailsMinimalGroup

    Note

    The command groups delivered by SAP are listed in the table above. If you have copied these command groups, the corresponding names of the copies apply instead.

Results

The Collaboration menu, the context menu for user names, and the user interface of the User Details iView provide the assigned services for collaboration between portal users.
