UWL Configuration Problem

Question

When trying to configure the UWL by clicking the link:
Click to Configure Item Types and Customize Views Using a Wizard, and then in the wizard selecting:
Customize the look of the UWL main page
The Navigation Node Configuration page is not correct. The dropdown list and other controls are not populated.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Paul,
See if this can help:

"Issue :
While using EP7.0 and customizing UWL look and feel through UWL Configuration Wizard, you see an empty dropdown under the property "Select the Navigation Node To Be Customized".
Workaround :
The issue is due to a programming error in the XML. The basic problem is that the wizard does not support the Navigation
Node name format that the mss file uses (<NavigationNode name="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.Main"....)  This is fixed in newer releases, but there is no need to upgrade since the workaround provided here is fine.
Open the XML configuration file named "com.sap.pct.erp.mss.001". The top navigation node should be changed to "Main" instead of the longer name "com.sap.pct.erp.mss.Main".  Just replace this string with "Main".This is what I just did and have attached the new com.sap.pct.erp.mss.001 file.
So that the UWL knows what navigation configuration to use, you need to go to the UWL iview properties and change the property 'useNavigationId' to "Main".  Otherwise, you will run into problems.
So, in summary, the solution is two parts: changing the navigaiton node from "com.sap.pct.erp.mss.Main" to Main, and setting the "useNavigationId" iview property to Main."
Best regards,
José
