Hi Maxicosi,
You can achive with Sort Priority of the Role/Workset object properties.
Refer to [Defining the Sort Sequence of Navigation Nodes |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/92/3e703e632c7937e10000000a114084/content.htm]

Sort priority of merged folders and worksets

Hi Forum!
I have a challenge, which I hope some of you can contribute to solving:
I'm trying to merge several roles, which have different structures, but I can't get the sorting to work. Here goes :
Structure of my different roles:
1 : Role -> Folder -> iView
2 : Role -> Folder -> Workset -> ....
I've setup merge ID's on the folders, so they merge fine into one top-level navigation item - no problem here.
But my problem is to control 2nd. level navigation. I can't set any navigational priorities on the iView directly attached to the folder, which leaves me without any possibility to control the sort-sequence on 2nd level. I already tried to insert a folder or workset in between the folder and iView level, but this also results in an additional navigation layer, which I don't want.
Any ideas, on how to solve this ?
Rgds.
Claus Gosmer

Hi Claus,
the property you are looking for is called "Sort Priority" (or Sortierpriorität in German).
This property is available for iViews, pages, worksets and folders. SAP Help link
If none of the objects has a sort priority or all objects have the same priority the content is displayed in the order of appearance in the role. If some have a sort priority and some not the ones with prio are displayed first in the order of ther prio and then the rest...
Should work that way!

Roles and Worksets are indicated several times in Top-level-navigation.

Hallo Experts,
I dont understand why the Roles and Worksets in the Top-level-navigation are displayed several times. How can I change that?
Thank you very much
regards,
Galyna

Hi,
Which roles do you see several times?
If it is the home tab than you might have assigned yourself for example, eu_role, eu_core_role and cc_role.
If under the Home you see for example the Company, Work, Team... worksets twice than again you might have assigned yourself for example, eu_role, eu_core_role and cc_role.
If these are administrative roles than might have assigned yourself these roles through multiple groups/roles assignments.
If you will say exactly which roles/worksets you see several times we will be able to help more efficiently.

Portal Design - Best Practices for Role and Workset Tab Menu

We are looking to identify and promote best practices in SAP Portal Design.
First, is there a maximum number of tabs which should exist on the highest level tab menu, commonly called the role menu? Do a large number of tabs on this menu cause performance issues? Are there any other issues associated with a large number of tabs on this menu?
Second, can the workset tab menu be customized to be 2 lines of tabs? Our goal is to prevent tab scrolling.
Thanks

Debra,
Not aware of any performance issues with the number of tabs in the Level 1 or 2 menus, particularly if you have portal navigation caching enabled.
From an end user perspective I guess "best practice" would be to avoid scrolling in the top level navigation areas completely if possible.
You can do a number of things to avoid this, including:
- Keep the role/folder/workset names as short as possible.
- If necessary break the role down into multiple level 1 entry points to reduce the number of tabs in level 2.
An example of the second point would be MSS. Instead of creating a role with a single workset (i.e. level 1 tab), we usually split it into two folders called something like "My Staff" and My Finance" and define these folders as entry points. We therefore end up with two tabs in level 1 for the MSS role, and consequently a smaller number of tabs in level 2.
Hope that helps......

John

Assigning Roles and Worksets

Hi All,
i have created a new user "TEST". i want to assign content_admin_role to that user with the restriction that "Unification" and "Portal Content Translation" worksets should not be displayed on the portal.
how to truncate "Unification" and "Portal Content Translation" worksets at the time of assigning the content_admin_role role to the user.
kindly help me out.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi venkat,
My answer is same as Gopal.you can search for standard content_admin_role,edit that role and remove these worksets or page from the this role.
Assign this new role to the user.you can also try by giving entry point for these 2 workset as "No"
It works.Let me know if you have any problem.

Regarding roles and worksets ??

hi
is it possible ??
i have made 2 roles nd 6 worksets ..in 1 role made the entry point no and made the entry point yes for there worksets....these are shown in tabs ...
now i want to use the same worksets for a new role but want to make the role entry point 'yes'..
and doest not want to show the worksets shown in tab for 2 nd role ..want that 2nd role will be shown in tabs

Hi Arpit,
If I understand you correctly you have a role with worksets inside the role which are entry points (meaning you see them in the 1st level in the TLN).
Now you have a 2nd role which you want to see in the 1st level TLN, and want the
2nd level TLN for this role to have the same worksets you used in the other (1st) role.
In order to do that, just create delta links for the worksets, and add them to the 1st and to 2nd role.
These will actually be the same worksets. when you make changes to the original worksets, you'll see the changes in both roles.

Tal.

Is it possible to change role's sort priority dynamically?

Dear repliers,
I want to implement menu personalization.
I mean i want user to change their menu structure dynamically in webdynpro java.
Is there any way or code to do this?
If it isn't, is there any way to change role's sort priority dynamically in webdynpro java?
Please let me know if u have any information about it..
Yours Regards,
JS Park

we can change pages/workset/roles sort priority dynamically. But it will affect all users. There only one copy of pages/workset/roles exists.
The work around could be... You can develop a custom application in which you have predefine set of possible values.
example :
role (sort Priority)
1) employee (100)
2) Manager (200)
3) Sales Manager (300)
Create copy of Each role with different sort priority for all roles
for eg.
1) Employee (200)
2) Employee (300).
And in your web dynpro application assign roles according to users choice.
But It would be difficult to maintain roles. Because if you need to perform one change you need to apply them to their copies as well.

Setting sort priority to 90.0 by default instead of standard 100.0

Hai,
I have requirement in which i have to upload some 100 roles from SAP R/3. When these 100 roles are imported, it will have sort priority 100.00. I have created a another Iview, that also has sort priority as 100.0 by default.
When I assign few of the roles and the Iview to a user this Iview is coming in between the roles. I want this Iview to be shown in the extreme right in Second Level Navigation. This I can do by changing the sort priority of 100 roles to 90.0. My users are not interested in changing 100 roles.
The below is the approach which I thought of doing but I don't know how to do it, please let me how to achieve this or is there any other way to do it.
When ever a object, role, IVIEW is created by default sort priority 100.0 is assigned to those object. I want to set that value to 90.0 So that when ever i create a new object the sort priority has the value 90.0.
Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks & Regards,
H.K.Hayath Basha.

Hai Rasmus,
Thanks for the information.
If I am going to create Iview then I can use a template to create Iview.
I am using Role Upload function in portal to upload roles for SAP R/3, after I upload the role, the uploaded role has sort priory 100.0. I want to have a sort prioriy as 90.0 when ever I upload a role or create a role.
Please let me know how to do this.

Navigation through a new role and persistence of user properties

Hi there,
I have a question related to roles and user-experience in the SAP Enterprise Portal.
Depending on the preference of the portal user I would like to offer a different navigation by assiging a new role to the user.
For example initially a role offers the navigation show below:
Role 1:
Toplevel navigation: Entry A Entry B Entry C
After a user request for a different navigation the order of the toplevel navigation changes.
Role 2:
Toplevel navigation: Entry B Entry C Entry A
In order to realize this, I created two worksets for Entry A. By using merge-ids and a difference in sorting I managed to move the Entry A to the end of the toplevel navigation bar after assiging role 2.
However I noticed that iView properties set by the portal users under role1 are lost after assigning the role2. Is there any way a user can keep the properties set under a previous role when getting assigned to a new role that has the same page?
Thanks in advance,
Arko

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.getApplication().getNavigationHandler().handleNavigation(context,
null,
"<<NAVIGATION STRING>>");

Roles and Navigation

Hi,
Our portal environment is NW04 Stack 11. Let me describe what I am trying to do.
Top Level Navigation tab -> Folder F1
2nd Level Navigation for Folder F1 -> F1a, F1b, F1c
Detailed Navigation for F1a -> Public, Private
I know how to set up the PUBLIC folder so it appears for all users but how would I set up the PRIVATE folder to only appear for selected users?
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Kris

Hi Kris,
You have to create 2 different roles with the same structure, one with Public at the bottom, and the other with Private.
Then you should set the property "merge id" of Folder F1 in the first role to a string of your choice, and set it in the Folder F1 in the second role <b>to the same string</b>.
Do the same for the rest of the merged points of the two roles (F1a F1b and F1c).
Finally, you can set the property "sort priority" of Public and Private to determine the order between them for users that have both roles.
Hope that helps,
Yoav.

Retrieve sort priority for a navigation item

Is there any way to dynamically retrieve the sort priority of a menu item within a navigation when the navigation is being displayed? The navigation is returned as a 2D array, and displayed, but I would like to find the sort priority of each top-level item and depending on its value, display it elsewhere. Does anyone know how to find this value?

Hi,
depends on where you're coding. Inside the portal, as a navigation API client (iView), you can call getPriority() on each node. See PDK for example on how get the navgation tree in the portal.

Disaply the all the roles for page, iview and workset

Hi Guys,
I have a strange requirement. i need to display all the users that have access to a particular iview, page and workset. can anyone help me out with this.
-Thanks

Hi,
Any iview or page or workset should be part of role. SO if user has access to a particular role, he will have access to the portal objects inside that role as well. So the way to go is you can get all the roles, check iViews, pages etc. If iViews or pages match, then save the role to arraylist. Now check the users who are assigned to these roles in arraylist. That may work.
