Top-level navigation & workset title

Hello,
I have created a workset with three pages. Is it possible to display only the title of the pages and not the title of the workset in the top-level navigation ?
Thanks
VC

Hi,
You can set the worksets property as invisible in navigation to true:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/ec/ae6ed43b204759a1dcdd788eb2a8dc/frameset.htm
And ofcourse set the Entry point of your pages to true:

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

Worksets not visible in the top level navigation

Hi all,
I installed ESS business package and.ESS 600 sp08.Everything is fine but the worksets of the ESS role are not coming in the top level navigation (2nd level).They are visible in the detailed navigation.
I checked the option in the worksets .
the property invisible in navaigation area .It is set to No.So no issues.
Still it is not visible
Any clues please.
Thanx and Regards,
rajesh

Hi,
As Rightly said
1) First copy ESS folder created in "Content provided by SAP" under "Portal Content".
2) Copy standard ESS Role for u r customization
3) Open Custom Role "Employee Self Service"
4) Property Category : Navigation
5) Check Entry Point property
It shuld be NO for Role but It shuld be YES for Workset ESS under it as per standard then Its Fine
6) Then Assign this role to u r User thru UserAdmin
7) Refresh
It shuld work !!!!
Reward Points !!! If helpful

How to remove the worksets from the Top level navigation for the ESS role.

Hi All,
I am working on enabling and disabling certain services in the ESS worksets.
we are using EP 7.0, ECC 6.0 (NW2004s).
When I login as a user with ESS role, I can view the changes in the overview pages. However, the worksets are still visible in the TOP Level navigation of th poral. can anyone please explain me how to remove the workset from the Top level navigation.
Thanks for your help
Regards
SM

Hi,
Go to the ESS role via Content Admin, then double click the workset (or page or iview) and in the drop down select navigation. Then click the <i>Yes</i> radio button of the "<i>Invisible in Navigation</i>" property.

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.

Worksets to be displayed in Top Level Navigation

Hi,
I have created a role and assigned 5 worksets to the role...and assigned the role to user...i wanted the worksets to be displayed in Top Level Navigation and not the role ....can i do it....
Rgds,
P.Navakanth

Hi Navakanth,
1) Double click on the role and open -> Go to Property Category -> Navigation -> Select Entry Point = No
2) Double click on each workset and open -> Go to Property Category -> Navigation -> Select Entry Point = Yes. In addition to this, if you want a particular sequence of worksets (tabs), then set the sort priority. Lower the sort priority, the first it comes in sequence.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,

Creating a dropdown for Roles in Top Level Navigation

Hi,
I am trying to customize the com.sap.portal.navigation.toplevel.par file.
Can anybody please help me to create a dropdown for various roles in the portal,if the user clicks on the first role in the Top Level Navigation ,he should see a dropdown list with worksets of the role.
Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks
Art Tech.

Hello Art Tech,
I hope I understand you right. You want to change the appearance of the custom built TLN according to the currently chosen portal theme, just like the standard TLN would change its appearance.
Well, if so, then there are two ways:
1) The HTML and styles/classes of your custom built TLN are still more or less the same as in the standard or you can at least reuse most of the standard HTML output/structure, then applying a new theme would also affect your custom TLN.
2) You have your own HTML output for the TLN, not relying on anything from the standard TLN, and you most probably work with a custom stylesheet file (e.g. "tln.css"). What you have to do then is to provide a set of TLN stylesheet files for each portal theme you want to support and include it accordingly by retrieving the current theme's name via the ILafService (Look & Feel Service). Or you rely on only one CSS file, then have as many "blocks" of styles (marked with a preceding class selector like in e.g. ".themeNameA ul li a " and ".themeNameB ul li a ") as you have themes, and put a bracket around the TLN-output with class="currentThemeName". For this last approach I give you the sample code (assuming you want to support the themes "SAP Standard", "SAP Tradeshow" and "SAP Chrome"):
The TLN code: tln.jsp
><%@ taglib uri="NavigationTagLibrary" prefix="nav" %>
><%@ page import = "com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.laf.*" %>
><%@ page import = "com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.PortalRuntime" %>
><%
>// include the TLN stylesheet
>response.include(componentRequest, componentRequest.getResource("css", "css/tln.css"));
>
>// retrieve the current theme's technical name
>ILAFService iLAFService = (ILAFService)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(ILAFService.KEY);
>String currentTheme = iLAFService.getCurrentTheme(componentRequest).getThemeName();
>%>
>
><div class="<%=currentTheme%>">
> <ul>
> <nav:iterateInitialNavNodes>
>    <li><nav:navNodeAnchor navigationMethod="byURL" />
>    
>    </li>
> </nav:iterateInitialNavNodes>
> </ul>
></div>
The stylesheet: tln.css
>.sap_standard ul li {background-color:#FFCCCC}
>.sap_standard ul li a
>
>.sap_tradeshow ul li {background-color:#CCCCFF}
>.sap_tradeshow ul li a
>
>.sap_chrome ul li {background-color:#CCCCCC}
>.sap_chrome ul li a
I hope this solves your problems.

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.

Show/Hide tabs in top level navigation of a role based on assigned services

Hi,
I have an interesting requirement. I have created an overview page in abap web dynpro which has links to various services.
Based on the r3 roles assigned to the user, we need to show/hide the services in the overview page and top level navigation.
I can show/hide the views in the overview page but the links on top level navigation are created in the portal frontend by creating worksets, iviews, etc.
Is there a way I can show or hide these worksets which are defined in the role on top level navigation?
In a nutshell, can i update the visible/invisible property of a java workset from a call in abap web dynpro?
Regards,
Sumeet

Please refer the framework page [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/02/c7918e9fca44519701c47028a053fd/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/02/c7918e9fca44519701c47028a053fd/content.htm]
What i meant was that you can do a custom TLN like this
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711core/helpdata/en/42/fd515a2aa95277e10000000a1553f7/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711core/helpdata/en/42/fd515a2aa95277e10000000a1553f7/content.htm]
Seems to me java/jsp is more appropriate than doing it via WDA.
ANother way that you might look into this is Application integrator which again java programming effort needed.

Customizing Top level navigation

Hi,
I have requirement where in i have to customize the top level navigation. Insted of hyper links display i have to show them like buttons, not exactly buttons but the hyperlinks shown for the navigation should be removed.
Is it possible to show with out links and once click on the respective workset should be able to navigate that workset.
Is it possible to place image for each workset navigation in top level navigation.
Regards,
Ravi.

Hi Darrell,
I checked that code and it is using the navHelperServer.getQuickLink method where it gets the Quick Link Value of the pages i guess.
I could not find the method details and the declaration of this method in the help. Is it the custom method written of that class.
I am using the below standard code of the LightTopLevelNavigation.
I guess i need to put the custom code between the navNodeAnchor Tags of Selected and non selected Nodes.

WPC on Portal 7.3: Area in top level navigation

Hi,
We are trying to set up a site using Web Page Composer on portal 7.3, but we are not able to display the area in the first level of the navigation.
Let's say we need following structure in the navigation:
Departments
-- HR
-- Trading & Supply
-- Finance
We want the content managers of our site to create extra departments without sending an area connection request to show the new department in the navigation.
Is it possible to create an Area Departments, link it to a role by creating a connection and use this connection as an entry point?
I've tried to edit the connection and mark "departments" as entry point, but it's not appearing in the top level navigation.
kr,
Joachim

Hi,
An area cannot be the first level of navigation. When you publish an area in WPC 2.0 it becomes a workset. Connecting the area to a role is similar to placing a workset under a role (the technicalities aren't the same, but that's the general idea).
Information regarding area connection can be found at:

Problem with Back button in Top Level Navigation

Hi all,
We are facing a minor problem with the Back button in the Top Level Navigation in Portal. This button is present under the Roles and Worksets menu along with the History, Forward, and Add to Portal Favorites links.
The problem is faced when we have some worksets under a single role. While browsing accross these worksets by randomly clicking on them, we wish to use the Back button as well to go back to the previous workset. But when we use the Back button, the Detailed Navigation panel in the last workset is not retrieved.
I will explain with the System Administration Role. I open the worksets under this role in the following manner:
First I open Transport;
Next I open Portal Display;
Next I open System Configuration;
Now I wish to go back to Portal Display workset by clicking on the Back button. But when I do this, although the Portal Display workset opens up, but I cannot see the Detailed Navigation Panel. See the screenshot below:

I think I have found a resolution, although not very pleasant:
