Integration

The navigation panel is part of all xRPM portal pages.

Prerequisites

      You have defined the links in customizing of the back-end system, by choosing SAP xApp Resource and Portfolio Management (SAP xRPM) Global Customizing Process and Service Settings Define Navigation.

      The navigation panel shows links (separated into views and actions) depending on:

¡        Portfolio type of the current portfolio

¡        Object type of the current object (Portfolio/Bucket/Item/Review/Collection)

¡        Portal role (As maintained in the application parameter “PortalRole”)

      The order of the views and actions is given by the backend customizing.

Optional Settings

The navigation panel uses the following application parameters:

      PortalRole

Used to determine which links are shown.

      ProxyLinkId

This is the ID of the link pointing to the start page of the current role. After a new portfolio is selected in the portfolio picker this page is called. Then this page forwards to the official startup page for the current user and the newly selected portfolio.

      IsAdmin

Triggers special administrator logic. If the following settings apply:

¡        this flag is set to true

¡        there is no portfolio in the current cache

¡        there is no default portfolio for the user

Then, it is assumed that an administrator has logged on to the system for the very first time and there simply is no portfolio in the system, yet. In this case, the links to be shown are read from the backend customizing for portfolio type “ADM”, which then should return a link pointing to the (empty) portfolio dashboard which allows the administrator to create a new portfolio.

This should be a one time event.
