Adding Tile Actions to All Tiles

Method of the LaunchPage API that registers a callback function for an external tile actions provider, and adds an action to all tiles in the launchpad when the user clicks the tile in action mode.

Syntax

registerTileActionsProvider(function)

The function returns an array of tileActions objects.

This method is part of the SAPUI5 sap.ushell.services.launchpage namespace. For more information, see SAPUI5 Demo Kit: Controls Start of the navigation path API REFERENCE Next navigation step sap.ushell services launchpage End of the navigation path .

Properties of the tileActions Object

Properties	Type	Description
text	String	The text to display in the actions menu when the user clicks the tile.
icon	sap.ui.core.URI	The icon to display next to the text.
targetURL	String	Optional. You can enter any URL, for example `http://help.sap.com`. Note that you have to provide a complete URL including the protocol (typically `http://` or `https://`). Note If you choose to use semantic object navigation, the target URL will be automatically computed and inserted into this field.
press	Function	The action to perform when the user clicks the tile action.

Note

Returns the tile actions immediately without any additional server access. This eliminates delays in rendering the action list in the browser.
