Hide/disable certain areas from the Overview page of ESS in portal

HI All,
We have a requirement where we need to hide/disable certain areas from the "Overview" page of ESS in portal.
In Overview page, we have certain links like Employee search,Life and work events,
Purchasing and travel and expenses.
I m not able to find these pages under overview workset also.
We have to hide 'Purchasing' and 'life and work events' areas from the overview page as the customer dosent want to use this sap standard impl.
Is the customiztion to be done from portal side or do we need to do it from the IMG??
Can someone pls tell us in detail how to do it?
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
Inorder to hide/diable certain areas from the Overview page of ESS you need to do it from the IMG.
The detail steps are as follows:
1) After logging in to your backend, run Transaction code SPRO.
2) Select the SAP Reference IMG button.
3) Follow the path: Cross-Application Components >> Homepage Framework >>
Areas/Sub Areas.
4) In the Assign SubAreas to Areas OR Assign Areas to Area Group Pages (depending on your requirement), to hide the particular area , set the Position value to 0 for the Area / SubArea that you wish to hide.
5) After making the changes, Refresh the Portal browser page to reflect the new changes.
Hope this helps.

    It sounds like first you need to understand the Overview page and how it gets built. This all comes from the Homepage Framework configuration in the BACKEND (ECC box). Look in the IMG under "Cross Application Components" (or in the ESS section as will which actually has the same section) to find the configuration area. The Homepage Framework configuration however is also tightly coupled to the portal content (ie. objects in a portal role PCD path are tied to configuration "resources" in the Homepage Framework configuration). I won't get into all that, as there is plenty of material in these forums and documentation (help.sap.com) that describes the details of how all of this works. However, to answer your immediate question....
    Ok....so the "lazy man's approach" is fairly simple....in the IMG where you assign the Areas to the Area Group, you can simply change the display order number of the ones you want hidden to 0 (zero)....this will at least keep your standard entries in place....or you can just delete them from the assignment to the Area Group in the "change" step.
    Sooooo....that gets them off the Overview (Area Group) page. However, they will still be in the standard delivered portal role (for example, the worksets will still show up in the second line of the top level navigation). So you need to remove the worksets from there.
    Now, I call the above the "lazy man's approach" because in actuality, you should build your own custom Homepage Framework to your needs. This way it is safer, customized and you are not touching the standard, delivered entries so you can use them as reference later. Also, you should be doing the same on the portal side....ie. build you own custom role based on delta-linked copies of the standard objects (worksets, pages, and iViews). This might seem like a lot of work, but it is way more flexible....for example, if you need several different ESS "versions" to accomodate different types of users.

  • How to remove the delete and edit toolbar buttons from the Overview page

    Hi,
    In the account/contact overview page, we see that the interaction history assignment block does not support the EDIT and DELETE options.
    However, when we click on the hyperlink description of an activity in the interaction history, we get into the overview page of the activity. Here we can see the DELETE button and the EDIT button.
    Is there a way to remove these two options from the overview page of an activity which is in COMPLETED status and in the interaction history section?
    Please advice.
    Thanks & Best Regards,
    Ramesh.

  • Can't see the Overview page of ESS

    hi,
      I import the ESS business package and also assign the com.sap.pct.ess.employee_self_service role. But when I click on the role I can see the Over view page (at list the static page).

  • HT5071 I almost finished my iBook and layed out almost 100 pages. Now I wanted to edit chapters and Sections by moving them into certain areas of the 100 pages. It will not work, adn I have no clue where to go from there. Any advise?

    I almost finished 100 pages on the iBook Author. Unfortunately, I just created one page after the other (with lots of graphics and pictures). Having done that, I wanted to edit the iBook by placing Chapters and Sections between these pages.
    I used iBook Author Help and Publishing with iBook Author for advise, but I am unable to move Chapters and Sections between the already finished pages. I get the strange feeling I did the whole thing wrong and wasted many hours for nothing. Anyone out there who struggled with the same problem? I self published a book already and wanted to use iBook Author to update and upgrade my existing book. Any advise is very much appreciated, thank you. Wolf

    You may also try starting a "fresh" copy from scratch and copying and pasting into it with the order you want. I have succeeded in this a few times.
    Hope this helps...

    3. add the pcd location of ur page in this resource.
    4. create a service  and then add this resource in this service. select the appropriate type of service.
    5. add this service in the subarea. this will act as the entry point for your application. do not forget to maintion the description , coz  ESS will take that string as the link!
    6. add this subarea into the area .

  • Disable/hide navigation Back button in particular overview page

    Hi All,
    I have to disable/hide navigational 'Back' button on Task overview page. I tried to achive this in WD_HISTORY mehtod but no luck.
    Please suggest me how to do this.
    Thanks,
    Nanaji

    Hi Laxmana,
    I did the same thing as you suggested, by commenting the super class method we can just stop to go to previous page but not all the pages which are stored in back button history.
    My actual requirement is, back button should not be visible to user or should not function anything. User should not use back button to navigate away. user must use 'save and back' or 'save' buttons.
    Thanks,
    Nanaji

  • How to dynamically hide the Field Label in the overview page's form view?

    Hi Experts,
    How to dynamically hide, for certain condition, the Field Label in the overview page's form view?
    Please reply me.
    Regards,
    Vishal

    Hi Vishal,
    It is not possible to dynamically hide/display fields if the UI is build using configurations.
    The work around is to have multiple configurations, and based on the condition, load the
    corresponding configuration at runtime.
    The other approach is to code the complete htm view(htm coding) without using the configuration provided by the framework.

  • Some pages of my website are not active from the home page

    Built my website with iweb.  When I go to the site the tabs to all the pages show, but several of them are not active from the home page.  If I go to one of the active pages I can then click on the other pages.  Is there a way to fix this?  I've tried reloading the entire site, but several of the tabs remain inactive from the home page.  Any help would be greatly appreciate - Thanks,  Jodi

    Thanks Roddy - I tried moving it down and it didn't work - That line is in the Template I used to build the site and is on every page.  I did finally get the command A to work, but there's nothing covering those bottom three tabs.
    However, when I put my mouse in the area of the box where it has my name (the image you sent me above) it shows a link desktop/site/booker_files and I noticed I have one of the rss feed blue arrows, but I can't seem to delete it.  I wonder if that has something to do with it.  It does the same thing on the website if you hover with your mouse. 
    Truly appreciate your help.

  • How to update content types enheriting from the System Page Content type

    After importing a design package I found out that my content types was missing some columns. I could add the missing columns to my "page" and "Article Page" site content type. When adding the exisiting columns I could choose to update
    everything that inherits from this type:
    This is working. However I still miss 2 columns in the "Page" Content type:
    1. Rollup Image
    2. Hide physical URLs from search
    If I roll back my dev environment I can see that these are inherited from the "System Page" content type which is not editable. The columns are in the "System Page" content type but They are gone in "Page" content type that
    should inherit the columns.
    So how do I update these?
    Thanks

    Hi Alex,
    Thank you for replying. I totally agree with you regarding not to modify the OOB content types. The content types I have created/modified is also my own "new" content types.
    However the designpackage import messed up the OOB content types somehow so I'm only trying to get back to the state before the import. The only thing I see is still missing is the two previously mentioned columns in the "page" content type.
    Do you have any other suggestions in how to get back to the "OOB State"?
    Thank you
    Update: this is my page content type. It's not set to read only so it should update the last two missing columns from its parent (system page content type) right?

  • I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!

    I am having major issues with links in keynote! Even though the links (a navigation system) are on the master page, they are only working on some of my slides. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or similar issues? Help!
    I have created a navigation system on the master pages and set the presentation to links only mode. I also have other links scattered throughout the program, like a linkable table of contents, etc. Some of them work, some of them don't. Not sure why. Anyone out there having similar issues? Or have any idea on how I can solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Links should not create any problems in Keynote.  If they are set up correctly on text, the text will be underlined. Objects that have links will have a curved arrow bottom right, if you click the arrow a popup will display the link information.
    Try this repair for Keynote,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1 
    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2 
    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash
    3 
    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
    4  
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    5 
    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
    6 
    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
    7 
    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • The Help Link from the Application Pages Does not Work for Peoplesoft Campus Solutions 9.0

    Hi everyone.
    I have a problem, I have been trying to set up the Help Link from the Application Pages for Peoplesoft Campus Solutions 9.0 according to the instructions given in the Document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17566_01/epm91pbr0/eng/psbooks/EnablingtheHelpLinkfromApplicationPages.pdf ,  (referenced in the Doc ID 1289101.1, E-PB: How to Set Up the Context Sensitive Help with Hosted PeopleBooks using Universal Linking).
    I follow the instructions of that document carefully:
    I go to: PeopleTools -> Web Profile -> Web Profile Configuration
        2. Then I choose the Web Profile: "Development".
        3. Then Change the value for the Help URL field by entering the following URL format: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hrcs90r5 , the ctx parameter selected is the one that correspond to  the Campus Solutions (hrcs90r5) according to the Product Line Code Table (ULinkID) especified in the mentioned document.
        4. Stop the Web Domain and Clear cache.
        5. Start the Web Domain again.
    After setting up the Web Profile Configuration I test the help links, thas is why I click in the Help link in any Peoplesoft CS 9.0 Application Page (modify a person), but the next error message appears: "We're sorry, the topic you requested was not found.".
    I tried many combinations with the ctx parameters URL but it does not work yet. 
    I did the same test, but this time using the Help URL field with a HRMS ctx parameter by entering the following URL format: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hcm92pbr5 , and It works fine !!!
    According to the previous test you realize that It works with HRMS ctx parameter but not with Campus Solutions 9.0 ctx parameter,  Does anybody know what else can I do ? Am I doing anything wrong or missing? or maybe the Oracle's ctx parameter for Campus Solutions URL It is broken simply.
    Thanks for you help and feedback.

    2799444 - The page you are testing with appears to be a Workforce Administration page. Is that correct?
    The CS PeopleBooks would only work for CS pages, e.g.: try navigating to Main Menu > Campus Community > Personal Information > Add/Update a Person
    Also, you can use multiple ctx parameters:
    E.g.: http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?id=%CONTEXT_ID%&ctx=hrcs90r5&ctx=hcm92pbr5&ctx=pt852pbh2
    This way the help would work for the HR related pages like Workforce Administration, Campus Solutions pages like Campus Community and also PeopleTools pages like Web Profile Configuration. Hope this clarifies your question. Thanks!

    Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
    However ....  I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
    Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

  • I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook

    I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook.
    When using Sarfari or Google Chome, I am unable to play some videos on the internet. News clips, posted videos on blogs, and tv episodes from their own network websites. Youtube videos are fine. I doesn't make sense.
    I tried downloading an update for quicktime, but the computer claims that quicktime is up to date. Yet, the videos and tv episodes don't play.
    I have checked for the most recent software updates, and everything is up to date. Nothing is wrong with the hardware either.
    Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!

    In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins.  Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs.  Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.
