Limited view on 2nd level Navigation Bar

Hi
Is there a way to assign permission on a page on the 2nd level navigation?
I explain:
First level has teh Entry Point "MY Work".
Second Level has the pages assigned to My Work
"Page A" "Page B" "Page C"
Currently, I assign My Work role to everyone, so they will view all 3 pages.
PROBLEM:... I want "Page C" to be under "My Work" BUT only be viewed by selected users.
Can this be done?
How else can I do this?
Help needed urgently!!
Appreciate any info
Thanx
RD

Hi RD,
two possibilities:
a) By merging roles (the standard way). See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/53/89503ede925441e10000000a114084/frameset.htm for details. Experts would have roles "Everyone" as well as "Expert".
b) By delta links: You create a workset as entry point "MyWork" containing Pages A and B; this workset is assigned to Role Everyone. Than you create a Role "Expert", assign the workset "MyWork" as deltalink (already containing pages A and B), now adding page C. Experts would have Role "Expert" only.
Hope it helps

Top-Level Navigation Bar - Is it possible to make it 3 levels?

Dear Portal Experts,
Could someone please advise if it is possible to make the Top-Level Navigation Bar show more than 2 menu levels? I looked at the document and it said we can only have 1 or 2 levels. But I'm just wondering if there is any way around it. Thanks.

yes you are right .we can set only 1 0r 2 levels but good news is there is a workaround

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.

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.

2nd level navigation

Hi Community,
we have a fpn working here with RRA. Filter_id's are implemented in the consumer portal desktops. Navigation is built by roles
RoleA (Entry Point, Filter_id = A, Merge_id = x)
- RoleB(Entry Point, Filter_id = A, Merge_id = x)
- FolderA
- FolderB
- RoleC(Entry Point, Filter_id = A, Merge_id = x)
- FolderC
If i call a desktop which has no elements with the filter_id all entry points appear, which means 1st, 2nd level and detailed navigation (correctly). So i guess its no permission problem. But if i call a desktop with filter id "A" only first level appears.
I tried
- different merge id's to merge all under RoleA (e.g. RoleA merge_id = x, RoleBC merge_id = xd)
- not to filter second level
- defining folder as entry points and roles not
Someone knows how to merge and filter them correctly? Help please.
Thanks & Regards

Merge - 2nd Level Navigation

Hi there
Would really appreciate it if someone out there can put me out my misery.
Here follows the problem ...
The requirement on this project is to have really fine control over which reports users are shown. To this end, reports (iviews) are assigned to roles. Users are then assigned to the relevant role to give them access to the required reports.
In terms of the menu structure, many roles make up a menu. In order to not display menu items to which a user has not been assigned, we have gone with the merging approach.
Anyone out there know how to merge on the second level of navigation?
R1 = required top level tab
R2A, R2B = required second level tabs
R3A1, R3A2, R2B1, R2B2 = required detailed navigation items, each with their own structures defined with worksets
At the moment, R2A and R2B are assigned as delta links to R1.
R3A1 and R3A2 have the same mergeID as R2A. R2A has the lowest merge priority.
Similarly, R3B1 and R3B2 have the same mergeID as R2B.
For now, the test user is assigned to all the roles above, just so that I can see if the merging works.
The theory goes that if this works, I can assign the user to the relevant R3? roles and they will then only see what they are supposed to see.
All I see however, is R1, with R2A and R2B on the second level, but none of the lower roles pull through to the detailed navigation.
If I set R2A and / or R2B to be entry points, then they show as a top level tab, and the R3B1 and R3B2 roles are merged correctly underneath.
If I make them not entry points, then I don't get any merging.
Any ideas ... anyone follow what I am saying ... very difficult to explain this in text without drawings
Cheers,
Andrew

Andrew, Steve and Selvaraj,
Here is my work around. It's not easy to maintain, but it fulfills the requirement..
We can only merge roles appropriately in the 1st level, when we make them entry points right? If we add them to another role as delta link, whether they have inner role or not they see the roles content. Also we dont want their content to be seen in the second level.
My solution is again merging them in the first level and make them entry points with lower merge priority then our original entry point. However add our second level roles one folder with the same name and merge them with the 1st level role with the same id and make entry point.
The result is
My job
---My applications
App 1
App 2
Now the roles
roleMyApps : mergeID=mergeApps Entry point, priority:1
roleSalesPerson mergeID=mergeApps Entry point, priority:5, containing a folder named (my applications) * its the trick, and under it your original content.
roleFinancePerson mergeID=mergeApps Entry point, priority:5, containing a folder named (my applications) *, and under it your original content.
You can also use worksets rather then folders but I didn't try it.
Let me know if it helps, and reward helpful answers.

Barış

Multiple Views from "Identify Account" Navigation Bar

I have created a navigation profile called "Identify Account" and is linked to my Weblcient Profile. However, for ease of use, I would like to have to Views (V1-Individuals and V2 - Organizations) sothat the user can have the option to search for Individuals(Citizens/Non Citizens) OR Organzinations. Basically this would behave like a drop down list of views from the navigation profile. Do I use dynamic functionality or static?

Chris, old buddy, old pal, you have posted this question in two places.
Go immediately to the Spry Forum and read my answer there.
I realize you were hedging your bets on which venue was better for your question, but many of us troll both forums, and in this case, Spry is the more appropriate one for your question.

I have a thick grey bar that has suddenly appeared at the top of my viewing screen below the navigation bar. it has a symbol that looks like the add-on tool

The symbol in the middle of the bar is a box with an arrow in it and two small round cylinders on top.
If I right click on the bar and inspect element it returns object#SCB_Bar Then if I copy inner HTML element it gives me this info.

[Forum FAQ] Customize the Navigation Bar in Outlook 2013

In Outlook 2013, the Navigation Bar is a gray bar which lists commands at the bottom of the Outlook window that enable you to quickly navigate to Mail, Calendar, People, and Tasks.
You can change the Navigation Bar settings for a single user by clicking
… and then Navigation Options. For more information, please refer:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/change-what-appears-on-the-navigation-bar-HA102838974.aspx
However, if you want to change the Navigation Bar settings for all users in your organization, you’ll need to modify the registry.
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that
you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756.
To modify the Compact view
To maximize the vertical height of the Outlook window you can use Compact Navigation. We can change the setting by creating the
ABCompact registry key. To do this, please follow the steps:
1. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type regedit
and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
2. Locate the following registry path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options
3. Right-click on the Options folder and select NEW > KEY, name it
WunderBar.
4. Select the WunderBar key, right-click on it and select
NEW > DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it ABCompact.
Value name: ABCompact
Value type: DWORD (32-bit)
Value: 1 to tick the Compact Navigation;
0 to untick it.
5. Restart Outlook to make the change.
To modify the Maximum number of visible items
To change how many views appear on the Navigation Bar, you need to change the number for Maximum number of visible items by modifying the
NumBigModulesAB registry key.
Value path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences
Value name: NumBigModulesAB
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1-8
The key doesn’t exist by default. When the value is set to 1, only
Mail will appear on the Navigation Bar. If the value is set to
8, all views will appear.
To modify which view is turned on or off
You can also turn one or more views off from the Navigation Bar. This is controlled by a registry string named
ModuleVisible15.
Value path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences
Value name: ModuleVisible15
Value type: REG_SZ
Value: 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0
By default, the string value is set to 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0.
1 means the view is turned on while 0 means the view is turned off. Moreover, the value correspond one-to-one with the views, for example, the first “1” correspond to
Mail, and the second “1” correspond to
Calendar… By default, the eighth and ninth view is turned off. The eighth is
Journal and I have no idea what the ninth number stands for. You can open Journal by pressing Ctrl+8, but if you want it to appear on Navigation Bar, you can change the eighth “0” to “1”.
To modify the view order
If you want to switch the positions of Mail and Calendar, you’ll need to modify the
ModuleOrderAB string.
Value path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences
Value name: ModuleOrderAB
Value type: REG_SZ
Value: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
The default order for the Navigation Bar is:
Mail Calendar People Tasks Notes Folders Shortcuts
Journal
In the registry string there are 9 numbers (1~9), let’s just ignore 9. So, there are 8 numbers left and each number has some relationships to each Navigation item.
Here is the logic:
There are 8 Navigation Options. Let’s say ‘Mail’ is Nav1, Calendar is Nav2, People is Nav3, …, Shortcut is the Nav7 and Journal is Nav8.
Meanwhile, there are 8 positions to put those 8 Navigation items, we name them
position1 to position8, from left to right.
For example,    CALENDAR TASKS PEOPLE FOLDERS MAIL NOTES SHORTCUTS
Journal
ModuleOrderAB=    5
1      3
2    6
4
7
8
The number “5” is in the first position of the ModuleOrderAB string and it takes
position1. The default navigation option for position1 is
Mail.
So, “5” means put Nav1 (Mail) on position5.
“1” is on position2, default navigation item on
position2 is Calendar. It means put Calendar on
position1.
So, “3” means put People on position3; “2” means put
Task on position2… and so on.

There isn't a built in way to do that since all the navigation toolbars are on one toolbar.

Horizontal Navigation Bar

I'm using the Spry horizontal menu bar, and I've got a problem.
In IE7, but not in Firefox or Safari or even IE8, the hover state is apparently only active for the text in the submenus, not the entire 'button'. That is, the list item is styled to look like a button, it's 12 ems wide, the text for most of the items doesn't fill the entire button. If one puts their mouse over the 'empty' part of the button, it seems that the 'hover' state is lost and the submenu disappears. In the image below, if you mouse over Northside, but leave the mouse on the right side of the 'button', the menu will quickly disappear if using IE7; it stays put when using the other browsers.
Very annoying to the user (and to this developer).
The site is http://www.acblunit174.org
I wonder if anyone has an explanation? Is this a known problem with a known workaround?
The css file is included below.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

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).

Problem in second level navigation for some users.

Hello friends,
We have a group with few users, we have assigned certain roles to that group, all the roles are visible to all but the order of second level navigatin has changed for some users and not for all. Please suggest some solution.
Thanks,
Mitts

Hi Mittal,
Is there any merging of roles going on?
When you assign new roles, does the 2nd level navigation contain the same nodes but in a different order, or are there additional nodes added?
Perhaps you can explain in more detail the set up.

Configuration Detailed Level Navigation

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the words "Detailed Navigation" of the Tray's header to the name of a workset/folder that is at the 2nd-level navigation? (through configuration at portal)

Hi,
Yes, it is possible !
From the 'Content Administration' ->Portal Catalog->Portal Content ->Portal Users ->Standard Portal Users ->Default Framework Page ->Desktop Innerpage ->Detailed Naviagtion iView.
Replace the text 'Detailed Navigation' against the property 'Name'. Save the changes.
Hope this helps !

2nd level padding

Hi guys,
Anyone knows where to configure and set the padding for the tabs on the 2nd-level navigation? I can see tat the padding done for 1st-level navigation is at System Admin > Portal Display > Top Level Navigation but not for 2nd-level.

Hi Boopolan,
I already have a 2nd-level navigation at the Top level Navigation and looking for where to configure the space between the tabs at the 2nd-level.
