Runtime Flow 

An OBN link specifies the business object, or the business object and operation to which to navigate.

When a user clicks on an OBN link, the following determines what navigation target is displayed:

Business Object and Operation

OBN performs the following when a business object and one of its operations are specified:

...

       1.      Gets a list of all the navigation targets assigned to the operation.

       2.      Selects only the navigation targets of this operation that are part of the current user’s roles.

       3.      Selects the navigation target with the highest priority.

Business Object

OBN performs the following when only a business object is specified:

...

       1.      Gets a list of all the operations for the business object that were assigned at least one navigation target that is in the current user’s roles.

       2.      Selects the operation with the highest priority from among these operations.

       3.      Gets a list of all the navigation targets assigned to this operation.

       4.      Selects only the navigation targets of this operation that are part of the current user’s roles.

       5.      Selects the navigation target with the highest priority.

Source Role

When specifying a business object and operation to create a navigation link, you can specify that you want the link to go only to an iView or page in the role that contains the source iView.

For example, Role A contains a source iView with an OBN link for Business Object A and Operation B, and Operation B is assigned the following iViews:

●      iView X, in Role A

●      iView Y, highest priority, in a different role also assigned to the current user

If in the OBN link, you specify to navigate only within the current role, then the link will go to iView X. Otherwise, the link will go to iView Y.
