Creating TabsetsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Administrators can define subsets of entry points so that portal users only see a given group of entry points in top-level navigation. Portal users can access tabsets from the View menu in the header area, or choose to display all entry points.

You can create new tabsets, or add entry points to existing tabsets.

Procedure

  1. In the portal, navigate to Start of the navigation path Content Administration Next navigation step Portal Display Next navigation step Tabsets End of the navigation path.

  2. To create a new tabset, in the Existing Tabsets table, choose New .

  3. In the Add Tabset dialog box, specify the general properties of the tabset, and choose OK .

    The tabset appears in the list of existing tabsets.

  4. Select the tabset that you created, and in the Entry Points table, search for entry points to add to the tabset:

    1. In the Find field, specify whether you want to search for roles or for objects configured as entry points.

    2. Enter a search string and choose Go .

      Note

      The search mechanism can only find unit objects. You cannot search for entry points located within other objects.

    3. From the list of search results, choose the entry points that you want to include in your tabset, and choose Add to Tabset .

    4. To remove an entry point from a tabset, in the Entry Points table select the relevant entry and choose Remove .

  5. To change the name or description of an existing tabset, in the Existing Tabsets table, select the relevant tabset and choose Edit .

Configure the Tabsets Mechanism

Activate filtering by configuring the InitialNodesPersonalizationService service:

  1. In SAP NetWeaver Administrator, go to Start of the navigation path Configuration Management Next navigation step Infrastructure Next navigation step Application Modules End of the navigation path.

  2. In the Module List , find com.sap.portal.navigation.service .

  3. In the Web Module Details section, in the Components tab, select InitialNodesPersonalizationService .

  4. In the Portal Service Details section, configure the following properties:

    • portal.navigation.tabsets.enabled

      Enables filtering of entry points and adds the Tabset option to the View menu at runtime.

    • portal.navigation.tabsets.minsize

      You can specify not to display the Tabsets option if top-level navigation contains a small number of entries. For example, if a user only has three entries in top-level navigation, there is no reason for the user to choose a tabset to display a subset of these entries.

  5. Choose Save , and restart the InitialNodesPersonalizationService service.

Result

The tabsets that you create are stored in a dedicated folder in the Portal Catalog. Administrators can add them to transport packages and translation worklists with the respective processes.
