Mash-Ups
You can use mash-ups to combine data from existing applications, and third party data sources and services. You can use mash-ups to retrieve information from different data sources, such as widgets, RSS feeds, or Web services, in an application in the WebClient UI.
Prerequisites
To start the UI configuration of an application, you need to activate the configuration mode in the general settings, on the central personalization page of the WebClient UI.
To enable or disable the UI configuration of mash-ups via the icon Show Configurable Areas
in a business role, you need to assign parameter ENABLE_MU_CONF with parameter value ON or OFF via function profile PARAMETERS to your business role. You do this in Customizing
for UI Framework

under UI Framework Definition
