Custom link on top

Hello,
Does anyone know how to create a custom link aligned with the dashboard names on top, (aligned with My Dashboard, etc)
But the custom link should not have a dashboard page... It should only be a link to another url...
so clicking on the url will open up a new url (IE window)...but the originating window should still be in the current view...
Thank you so much,
Janne

Hi Janne,
The most non-invasive way to do this would be the following.
1. Create a dummy dashboard called "My Custom Link"
2. Write a javascript that searched the html page for that specific link and updated the href attribute to the link you want it to be and also set the target="_blank".
3. Put this javascript in a text object in your dashboard with HTML enabled. Or you could throw it in the customMessage folder and have it automatically appended to the buttom of every dashboard page. I've made a post Re: get hit count of a page or a dashboard (usage tracking) about which files to modify in order to include custom javascripts in all your dashboard pages.
The other option is a little more invasive. You'd need to dig through the xml message files to locate the one's that dynamically build up the Dashboard links. Then you would have to modify this to include you static link. That could get dicey because having a static link jammed in with the dynamic links could cause formatting issues.
Hope this helps!

  • In SharePoint 2013 navigation, is it possible to add a custom link only to the left-hand menu without getting it in to the top menu dropdown?

    If I want to add a custom link to the left-hand navigation menu In a SharePoint 2013 sub-site, it can be done by visiting
    Site Settings à Navigation section and adding the link under
    Structural Navigation: Editing and Sorting section. However, this will automatically add a matching link to the top menu as a dropdown.
    (Note that Global Navigation is set to “Display the same navigation items as the parent site” where “Parent is using Structural Navigation.” and Current Navigation is set to “Structural Navigation:
    Display only the navigation items below the current site”)
    Is there a way to just add a custom link only to the left-hand menu without getting it in to the top menu dropdown?

  • Creating a custom link using the Action Wizard

    Hi everyone! I hope someone can help me.
    I would like to create an action, using the Action Wizard, to make custom links. I work with extremely large PDF documents at a major airline. I am in charge of watermarking and linking all support manuals for the airplanes. We have a custom watermark that we apply to particular pages, and also link them to updated pages on our own private server. I think the linking process could be made faster with a custom action.
    Currently I use this code:
    app.launchURL("CODE", true)
    The "code" is the web address of the document online. This works fine, however, I still have to click the link button, reposition the link, and edit the code for the particular page. Then I have to do that hundreds of times a week.
    I'd like a link action, where I can click one button and the link is perfectly drawn and placed in the exact location I require (this never changes; The link is always the same size and in the same location). I'd like this to work the same as my custom watermark action works. With my watermark action, I simply specified where the watermark went on the page, what type size, color, etc. using javascript. I'm hoping I can do the same thing with a link; Simply state what diminsions the link box needs to be and where it's located on the page.
    If this is possible, I'd be able to do both in one click; Apply my watermark with a link box already drawn on top of it. Then all I'd need to do is edit the link with the web address of the file I'm linking to.
    I hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated!
    Matthew~

    Okay, I'm really close to what I want. If you could help me with this one little thing, I'll be golden.
    My watermark is text that says "See Supplemental Information". I'm using a script that finds words and draws a link around them. That's perfect for me, except I need to search for the entire phrase "See Supplemental Information".
    Here is my code:
    /* LINKING */
    for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
                        var numWords = this.getPageNumWords(p);
                        for (var i=3; i<numWords; )
                                  var ckWord = this.getPageNthWord(p, i, true);
                                  if ( ckWord == "See Supplemental Information")
                                            var q = this.getPageNthWordQuads(p, i);
                                            // Convert quads in default user space to rotated
                                            // User space used by Links.
                                            m = (new Matrix2D).fromRotated(this,p);
                                            mInv = m.invert()
                                            r = mInv.transform(q)
                                            r=r.toString()
                                            r = r.split(",");
                                            l = addLink(p, [r[4], r[5], r[2], r[3]]);
                                            l.borderColor = color.red;
                                            l.borderWidth = 1;
                                            l.setAction("app.launchURL('https://website.com', true)");
    The code works if I only search for one word, but when I try to search for a phrase, it doesn't do anything. Is there a way to search for an entire phrase like what I need?
    Thanks for all your help.

  • How to configure a custom link in ESS for LTA?

    I have a requirement to display a pop-up alv report, once user click on a link "Leave_Details" in ESS. I am able to display pop-up alv but background screen is empty as its a separate WD application however I want that as soon as user selects any row from that popup alv it should be fetched and displayed on the LTA screen of Portal. It seems link is not configured so its displaying blank background screen while for other standard links this screen is displayed.
    Kindly help in this how we can display a custom link in ESS and after fetching any single record it should be closed and single row would be displayed in LTA screen.
    Here the background ESS screen is blank for custom link displaying this pop-up alv.
    For other standard links ESS screen is displaying.

    Hi Samuli,
    Thanks for your reply however here I am not asking how to create popup, it has already created however my question is, how to configure the link used to display that popup alv?
    As shown in the screen as soon as user clicks on the given link shown in below screenshot  this popup is displayed,
    and after clicking on this link, below screen is displayed
    Here background screen is empty whereas it should display the ESS screen in the background, so as soon as user select any row from the popup alv, i'll pass the data into ESS screen using BADI.
    Kindly revert with possible solution.

  • How to Use Custom Linker with Xcode 4.x?

    I am using a customer compiler with Xcode and would like to know how to force Xcode to use my own linker line with custom arguments.
    I created a new compiler spec file under:
    /Developer/Library/Xcode/PrivatePlugIns/Xcode3Core.ideplugin/Contents/SharedSupp ort/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins
    The default linker is defined in Ld.spec located in:
    /Developer/Library/Xcode/PrivatePlugIns/Xcode3Core.ideplugin/Contents/SharedSupp ort/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/CoreBuildTasks.xcplugin/Contents/Resources
    The following link seems to indicate that what I want to do is possible:
    http://maxao.free.fr/xcode-plugin-interface/compilers-linkers.html
    It seems like you have to create a custom Linker spec, give it an identifier, and then have the compiler spec reference your linker spec id by including it in the "RequiredLinker" key.
    My compiler spec looks like:
    {   Type = Compiler;
       Identifier = com.apple.compilers.armx;
       BasedOn = com.apple.compilers.gcc.4_2;
       Name = "ARMx";
       Version = "4.2";
       Description = "ARMx GCC Cross Compiler";
       ExecPath = "/Volumes/arm-x/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc";
       RequiredLinker = com.apple.pbx.linkers.armx;
    The problem is that Xcode 4.1 still is insisting on using the default Apple linker.  I want it to use my ARM based toolchain, which does not support some of the options that Xcode ends up passing on the linker line.

    You would be better off using a makefile-based project with custom compilers and linkers.

  • Return Links at top of Report?  Legend Labels on Bar Chart Rollovers?

    Hi,
    I have two questions.
    1. Is there a way to easily put the 'Return' links at the top of all reports? i.e. is there a template I can edit to do this to all my reports? I have hundreds of reports and changing them all by hand by putting a static text with HTML isn't really an option for me.
    2. Is there a way to show the Legend value when you hover over a Bar on a Bar Chart. I'm pretty sure pie charts do this, but in my Bar Chart, hovering over the individual bars only shows the value. I would like for it to also show which legend item it is when a user hovers over.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Kevin,
    I was looking into the issue. I can confirm that the scid code that's generated is dynamic.
    I also looked into the return link - the code is the following (you already know this).
    td class="ResultLinksCell"><a href="javascript:void(null)" onclick="return ViewBack('d:dashboard~p:9md8uku78u84kdge~r:kug9avdjlblr24fq','DrillBack','1pnm8a1lmln3ml08v6lil3d8gi');" title="Return to the previous page" name="SectionElements">Return</a</tdI checked several JS files in OracleBI\web\app\res\b_mozilla folder - tableview.js, viewhelper.js- although I found the function responsible for Return link (viewback) - I couldn't find the xml where you'd need to put that link in front of the following code - div id="idResultsTableParent"><table id="saw_146_3" class="ResultsTable" I suggest you search for the place in xml where it's generating table view and put the return link on top of the table.

  • How to add custom link or button to task details page to open a different t

    Dear All
    In HumanTasks Workflow, On task details page, I want to add a custom link or button. Clicking on this link or button, should load a different task details page.
    The exact business usecase is like this:
    1. We have some human tasks with very detailed payload like about 100 attributes. When the task is submitted for Approval, we send notification emails. These emails shows the Task Details with all these 100 attributes along with standard Approve, Reject buttons etc. NOW in addition to this, we want to add extra custom button/link like Custom View. When we click on this buton or link, it should replace the task details page with the Custom task details page contents. The reason is most of the managers/approvers access their emails on smart phones like iphones. So in these phones, seeing full task details (100 attributes) is very tedious. So we want to provide a simplified view of same task with very minimum attributes like about 10 with Approve, Reject buttons. Now this compact view details will have a button called Detailed View on click on which it loads details page.
    So we want to have 2 pages for a task:
    taskDetails1.jspx -> Has all 100 attributes with a custom button/link called "Compact View". Click on Compact View switch to below page.
    taskCompact1.jspx -> Has only 10 attributes with a custom button/link called "Detailed View". Click on Detailed View switch to above page.
    1. I tried implementing this using the VacationRequest sample where the payload is like creator, startdate, enddate, reason. I already have taskDetails1.jspx page, which shows this information in the email body.
    2. I want to add another button to taskDetails1.jspx so that when I click on it, I want to load a different page like taskCompact.jspx which has only say creator, reason.
    I already added a link and gave the url with parameters like taskId, taskContext etc which I got from bindings, but nothing is displayed when I click on custom button. The taskId, context values are comming correctly in the url.
    So bottom line, what is the URL that I can provide in the task details page, to load a different task details page contents. I want to pass other taskdetails jsp details.
    Please let me know, if there is any other approach to implement this usecase.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
       I am not sure if you can add your own custom buttons to the application tool bar because your table control is in a sub screen area in a standard screen so the menu area would be controlled by the standard screen and not the subscreen , but along side the table control you can give buttons for scrolling and handle the same in the subscreen if you check the FM EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_002 it has a variable IM_UCOMM which would have the ucomm set in the subscreen so here you can handle your user command to scroll on the table control.

  • Want to disable one of the sub link in top menue "Goto"

    Hi Martin Voros,
    What you are saying is wrong i guess. Because in our company some times users complaining that they can't save reports as a local file since the "List > Save > Local File" link is disable (ash color). Once i give the autherization for object S_GUI field name ACTVT = 61, they can go ahead with that and save it as a local file.
    Like wise if some one tell me the obect for "Goto > Cost > Analysis" that is enough i beleive.
    Thanks

  • CS5- Custom Links to EPS Files Don't Work?

    I am building a plugin that allows a user to place graphic assets from our own external asset management system into their InDesign document.  These assets need to maintain a "custom link" to the external assets.
    Everything was working great for simple raster image formats (like JPEG) but the custom link information seems to get lost for EPS files.
    After doing some deep debugging I decided to try building one of the sample plugins that ship with CS5 - 'customdatalink' and the accompanying 'customdatalinkui'.  This sample does a similar type of thing with CSV files that reference external assets.
    To make a long story short, the sample plugin exhibits the exact same behavior.  If you edit one of the sample csv files to point to an EPS image and place that in a document, you'll see that the Link URI is replaced with a file:// style path instead of the custom csv:// URI.  It works as expected for JPEG files.
    Surely this is not expected behavior.  Am I missing something obious here or is this a simple (but pretty major for my plugin) bug?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    p.s. this behavior is identical on both Mac and Windows.

    Here's a bit more detail. Again the idea is to return an IPMStream that doesn't include a IID_IFILESTREAMDATA. So I make a proxy IPMStream that just forwards requests to a real IPMStream.
    I've abbreviated a bit here for space reasons.
    So I make my own IPMStream object adding the class to my .fr file:
    class FileProxyWriteStream : public CPMUnknown<IPMStream>
    public:
                   FileProxyWriteStream(IPMUnknown* boss);
              virtual     ~FileProxyWriteStream();
              void SetRealStream(IPMStream *, AeInDesignGeo *);
              virtual uchar XferByte(uchar& chr) { return mRealStream->XferByte(chr); }
    ... all IPMStream methods
    Create my proxy stream:
    proxyStream = ::CreateObject2<IPMStream>(kFileProxyWriteStreamBoss, IID_IPMSTREAM);
    And I create a IPMStream:
    InterfacePtr<IPMStream>          realStream(StreamUtil::CreateFileStreamReadLazy(file, kOpenIn));
    Tell my proxyStream about the realStream
    proxyStream->SetRealStream(proxyStream);
    and CreateResourceReadStream returns my proxyStream
    Hope this helps

  • Adding custom link to UWL

    Hello Experts,
    I want to add a custom link to the UWL screen (near the 'Refresh' button in the attached picture).

    but I can't see the link.
    My portal version is 7.01 SP7.
    What do I need to do in order to see the link?

    Hello,
    Could someone provide links to complete tutorials for JSF 1.1 or JSF 1.2 for the subj?
    I wrote test component but it seems not queueing events.
    my decode method is:
    UIForm form = getForm(context);
    String clientId = getClientId(context);
    Map requestParameterMap =
    (Map) context.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap();
    String hiddenFieldName = form.getClientId(context) +

    //MethodBinding mb = new ConstantMethodBinding("#{MBMenuNavigator.goIBankModes}");
    //this.getAttributes().put("action", mb);
    this.queueEvent(new ActionEvent(this));
    one another question is:
    Why do I need to write hidden field "form:_idcl"?
    Shouldn't it being generated automaticaly by the form tag? what if my several custom link components will be on one page, then they will generate several "form:_idcl" hidden fields? Could someone explain how this works or where can I read about that in details?

    Can you also explain me the alias part aside please? Thanks a lot.
    Using your Query above. Notice the Count(rsv.ResourceID) statement.
    rsv is an alias for v_R_System_Valid
    Each column should have an alias. so ARPDisplayName0 should be arp.ARPDisplayName0, etc. This will prevent conflicts between the various views and ensure that you get the right data returned.
