Context

To configure the news tile, you have to maintain the following configuration parameters:

Configuration Parameters Description
Tile Default Image It is a URL (sets the default image for the News Tile).

You can set this parameter to select an alternate default image to display on the News Tile. By default, the News Tile application provides 12 default images and the News Tile cycles through these default images in sequence.

Always Use Default Image It is a checkbox.

When this parameter is set, the News Tile ignores any image that accompanies with the RSS feed article. The following order of precedence is used:

  • When Always Use Default Image is not set
    • Image from the RSS Article (if present)
    • Image from the RSS Channel (if present)
    • Image from Tile Default Image (if set)
    • Image from one of the twelve (12) default images
  • When Always Use Default Image is set
    • Image from Tile Default Image (if set)
    • Image from one of the twelve (12) default images
Article Cycle Interval (secs) It is an integer (minimum is 5). The default value is 5.

This parameter controls the rate at which the articles cycle through the News Tile.

Article Refresh Interval It is a dropdown box. The default value is 15 minutes.

This parameter controls the rate at which the News Tile requests new articles from the Article Feeds.

Article Feeds You can configure 10 RSS feeds. The News Tile monitors the RSS feeds and retrieves new articles based on the Article Refresh Interval.
Note If the URL references an external feed, the feed must be CORS compliant. If the URL references an internal feed, the feed must originate from the same server and port as the Fiori Launchpad.
Feed #1 – Feed #10 It is a URL.

The http URL of the RSS feed.

Inclusion Filters You can configure 5 inclusion filters. The News Tile filters the feeds and includes any articles that contain the same text in the Title of the article.
Filter #1 – Filter #5 It is a text.

The filter text that is compared to the Title of the article. If the text is found, the article is included in the list of articles.

Exclusion Filters You can configure 5 exclusion filters. The News Tile filters the feeds and excludes any articles that contain the same text in the Title of the article.
Filter #1 – Filter #5 It is a text.

The filter text that is compared to the Title of the article. If the text is found, the article is excluded from the list of articles.

Note The following are the limitations for configuring parameters:
  • The feed URLs are limited to the following source:
    • Internal sources (same URL and port as of the Suite Page Builder application)
    • Any external CORS compliant source.
  • The URL format should follow the http://[server]:[port]/[path] pattern.
    Note The URLs using "feed://" as the transport are not supported.
  • The UI5 URL validation requires the tilde '~' character to be replaced by the sequence '&#126'.

    For example, in the path "...filterID=content~tag", the tilde should be replaced by "...filterID=content&#126tag."

  • Bookmarking and direct navigation to the list of feed articles is not supported.
