Top level navigation bar: function links

The only function links available are Help and Logoff. How do I configure portal to get the addional links i.e: Personalize? Am I missing a role?

Hi,
I am not certain which role you have currently been assigned, but generally the super admin role is used as an entry point on a default installation to customize and delegate other roles in the Portal.
Personalizing is generally a property which you make available on iView's for users to alter. It can also be hidden etc.
As admin you are required to customize the properties to display portal objects on the navigational bars or other navigational areas. This is done at role, folder, iView level.
Hope this helps.

Content admin - iview not in top level navigation bar

Using my Administrator ID.
Also Portal Admin -> channel assigment not in top level navigation bar.
What role am I missing?

Hi,
The short answer to your question is that you need to add the relevant iView(s) and change the applicable role or iView properties to display in the areas necessary.
Generally you require the super admin role to structure other admin roles to the different types of admin roles in your enterprise with a default installation.
You could for example determine that your content admin receive more than just the default iView(s) applicable to them, and that you want those iView(s) to display as tabs, or only in the detailed navigational areas. This is a matter of personal preference and thus SAP allows you to customize this as you see fit.
I hope this helps.

EP About top level navigation

We are designing that many roles are assigned to one user.
(about 7-8 roles per user)
When many roles are assigned to the user, tabs in top level navigation bar can not be displayed without scroll horizontally.
We want to display all roles at once, without scroll.
To realize the above, roles must be displayed on 2 records
in the one top level navigation bar.
Is ther someone who knows whether top level navigation can
be displayed at 2 records on a bar, or not.
Any help or information would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Mizuka,
first, you might want to reorganize your roles and possibly have a look at the "merging" feature.
Next, you might change the portals theme to use a smaller font for the top level tabs.
If both options are unsuitable, you can develop your own top level navigation component by writing some java code. Then you can make it look whatever you like to (and I mean it, it's extremely flexible, I did it early in the time of EP6 SP 0 ramp-up, but definitely takes some time).

Top Level Navigation - Design bar borders

SAP EP 6.0 SP9 on NW04
We're using the top level navigation iview (TLN) out-of-the box and have configured the look and feel of TLN using the Theme Editor so that it follows the customer's corporate identity.
However, we cannot remove the two white vertical borders around the design bar in top level navigation or change the color to the same color as the top level navigation. It is only possible for us to change the background color of the design bar but not the color of the design bar border. The marketing department thinks this is a huge issue, which must be fixed.
We're almost certain that the problem cannot be solved by configuring the Theme Editor.
Does anybody know whether it is easy to modify the code or css files to change the white borders of the design bar? Any idea of what is the best approach?
Best regards
Peter

Hi,
I have similar problem but there is no "Display of Design Bar Container" option in the Top Level Navigation section of the Theme editor.

Design Bar in the Top Level Navigation

hi,
How to get rid of the Design Bar in the Top Level Navigation, Design Bar is the small space before Home tab in the Portal ?
Thanks in advance....

Hi Adi,
Go to System Administration-Portal Display-Theme Editor-> Choose the theme that you want to change->Portal Mast head->
On the lower right hand side, you would find a window with a scroll bar, scroll down to Masthead Design bar and if you do not want it to appear, you can try setting the height and width as 0 px. Just play around in here to resolve the isssue.
Good Luck!

Link to top-level navigation items

hi all,
does anybody know how to create a link to a top-level navigation item from an jsp iView? the idea is similar to Home-page and area-page concept in the new ESS with WebDynpro. From the home-page, users can navigate direct to an item which is displayed in the top-level navigation. fyi, we are on EP6.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can create links to any navigation node, the keyword here is NavigationTarget.

Display a custom message on click of a Top Level Navigation Object

Hi Experts,
when the user clicks on the top level navigation entry link(for any application), I would like a custom message to be displayed to the end-users which would be maintained in a text file in a KM folder.
Currently, on click of the top level navigation link a workset map is displayed. But now I would like to read the text file and display the message (if any) maintained in the text file.
The message (if any) should be rendered before the workset map is displayed, or be rendered as an additional element on the same page as the workset map perhaps as an additional iView .
It is essential that the message content should not be cached by the Portal (in other words, the deactivation of the system message should not require a cache flush to become visible to the user).
The goal is to warn the users before they they access the applications of the workset map.
Can someone please guide me on this???
Regards,
Anurag

Hi,
See some info regarding Portal Eventing:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/a5/8d1e72c20f4db2b9f577b47c1a47da/content.htm
In the link above you can see that it's possible to raise an event and subscribe to it.
Each time you navigate in the portal, the portal raises the UpdateTLN event so all you need it to subscribe to it in an iview that is located on the same page.
Since the masthead iview is in the same window (above the TLN - see the following link) you can put your javascript function in it.

Horizontal scrollbar in the 3 level hover Top level Navigation

Dear All,
I have implemented a customised 3 level hover Top level Navigation in my Portal. However if the number of Roles increase in TLN, they get added to the next line. I want to implement a horizontal scrollbar in the Top level Navigation.
Request your help on the same.
Thank you,
Regards,
Disha.

Dear Atul,
Thank you for your quick reply.
However, using horizontal-y is not serving my purpose. I want the functionality similar to that of the standard SAP TLN in case of the scrolling bar when the number of roles increase in TLN.
Can you plz help me in writing the code for the same.
Thank you,
Regards,
Disha.

Show a menu of roles in the Top Level Navigation

Hello,
Imagine a scenario where a user has many roles assigned to him (say 40 roles). In that case the user will have 40 tabs in the first level of the top level navigation and by default a horizontal scroller appears on the right part of the screen clicking on which the roles will scroll horizontally. If the user has to go to the 40th role he has to click quite a lot.
Is it possible to have a menu option clciking on which we get the all the list of roles in the top level navigation in a vertical list and we can directly jump to any role clicking on the entry in the list ?
Something like what we get in a tab strip in Web Dynpro.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

Hi,
Yes it is possible to have menus as you wish .
Look at the following links

You need to work on navigation tag libraries to extend number of levels .
The above inks helps you only for single level of navigation.

Top Level Navigation jumps to wrong workset

Hi,
In our portal (SP15), rather than loading the first page/iview of each workset in the top level navigation, we wanted a starter page that said something like 'click a menu item to continue'. To achieve this, I created the relevant URL iview and added it (delta-link) to each workset that appeared in the TLN. I then changed the properties of the iview so that it was Invisible in the Navigation AND Default Entry for Folder. So now when you click on a TLN node, the iview appears but doesn't show in the menu.
However, this has created some strange behaviour. Once a node on the TLN has been selected that points to proper page or iview (i.e. one that appears in the navigation), if you then click on any workset on the second level (first level ones are ok), the TLN "jumps" back to the node which has the page/iview - but still shows the starter page iview. This means that users can't access any workset on the second level, except the first one to be displayed (i.e. when you have several nested worksets in a workset).
Can anyone explain why this is happening? The problem only occurs when the starter iview is both Invisible in the Navigation AND Default Entry for the Folder. Is this expected behaviour (and if so, why?) or is it a bug? Is there another way to achieve what we want?
Many thanks
Jane

If I do that, the iview does not appear because I already have an Entry Point above that level (i.e. the Workset). Entry Point as Yes only sets the initial navigation node, it doesn't force an iview to appear. (or at least this is what my testing has shown).
We may have to rethink how we can do this - does anyone know of a way to stop the first iview/page loading in every TLN node, and instead just showing the portal background?
Many thanks
Jane

How to make top level navigation not refresh

Hello Guys,
I have a question concerning on my External Facing Portal, my boss wants that when I click on a tab or a link in the Top Level Navigation , to load the content in the Content Area without refreshing the whole page, What I want is that when I click on a tab or link of the Top Level Navigation , the Top Level Navigation and the MasterHead not to refresh and that the content be loaded and refreshed only in the Content Area. The only way I know to do this is by making a frameset of my page and to make the masterhead and toplevel navigation a frame and the detalied navigation a frame and the content area a frame, and in the links to put the target property to the name of the content area frame, but I don't know if this is possible to do in the portal, I see that all is embedded and I don't know how to make a frameset like this in the portal.
Any highlights to solve this will sure be appreciated.
Thanks
Rewarding points will be given.
Luis

Hi,
When you are implementing External Facing Portal, i think you have used Light Framework Page. In Light Framework Page, only one Framework has been used, so when you click on the top level navigation, the whole page will get refresh, so there is no otherway as of my knowledge. If you use standard framework page in portal, it is possible to do (i.e. the content area only get refresh) and the concept of your External Facing Portal is eliminated here.

How to start Top-Level Navigation on Level two?

Hi,
does anyone known a trick how i can start the top-level navigation at Level two?
I make an own frameworkpage and try to set it in the iview properties, but there is not an property for this. it is only for the detailed-navigation iView there.
For what:
I need this, because i would open an pop-up with an other portal window. I link to the popup with navigation-target=... In this pop-up should only be the content of one role. This folder i have set to "invisible in the navigation area". So the User always see him in a popup. when i start at the default Top-navigation level 1, the user see all the other navigation folders.
Best regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
up to SPS13, this needs some hands on on different parts of the TLN. What I've done this spring was showing all top-level nav targets within a select box in the masthead and then, after having selected one of these entries, the TLN shows just the content of this top level entry. So this is more or less the same. As said, some work to do.
As of SPS14, with the new navigation taglib, I expect this to be much less work; anyhow, I didn't convert the results into SPS14, so I cannot say if this is really as easy as I expect.
Hope it helps
Detlev
