Results

Related content selected for the object in this editor appears at runtime in the Related Links area in the navigation panel.

Additional Information

  • A related link that is set to Hide is still associated to its iView/page, but does not appear in the Related Links area of the navigation panel. To reactivate, set the object to Display .

  • Removing a related link from a page/iView disassociates it from the particular page/iView as a related link; however, the object still appears in the portal user's content.

  • In the Fiori Framework Page, you can enable related links to appear in the footer bar of iViews/pages in the SAP Fiori launchpad at runtime.
  • In the Ajax Framework Page, you can define the number of related links that appear in the navigation panel. When there are more related links than the number defined, a More link appears allowing portal users to view the full list of related links. Define the number of related links to display in the Framework Page Configuration tool.
  • In the Classic Framework Page, if the text of the related link is longer than the display width of the Related Links iView, you can wrap the text to the next line. To do this, select the Enable Text Wrapping in Related Links property in the Properties editor of the Related Links iView. Deselecting the property activates a horizontal scroll bar, allowing you to view the entire text.
