Sample Scenarios of Conditional Navigation

This topic discusses a few scenarios that involve configuring conditional navigation.

Case 1: Configuring Conditional Navigation in a Classic CREF that has an Alternate Fluid CREF

This sample scenario illustrates a case in which you are using the CN_DISPLAYMODE_N attribute to navigate from a classic content reference to the fluid equivalent content reference. You must configure the attribute in the classic and fluid content references as shown in the following example.

Example of CN_DISPLAYMODE_N attribute defined for a classic content reference:

Attribute Name Attribute Value

CN_DISPLAYMODE_1

FLUID=HC_HR_EE_ADDR_FL_GBL

Example of CN_DISPLAYMODE_N attribute defined for a fluid content reference:

Attribute Name Attribute Value

CN_DISPLAYMODE_1

CLASSIC=HC_HR_EE_ADDR_GBL

Case 2: Accessing Both Classic CREF as well as Fluid CREF from Menu Navigation

This sample scenario illustrates a case in which you want to navigate to both the classic content reference and the fluid content reference from the menu navigation. In conditional navigation, if you have a classic content reference and you configure it to point to a fluid equivalent, the classic CREF is converted to the fluid equivalent in all places including menu navigation. Therefore, menu navigation will no longer display the classic CREF. In this case, if you want to display both the classic and the fluid equivalent content references in menu navigation, PeopleSoft recommends that you create a copy of the classic content reference, but you must not configure conditional navigation on this new CREF.

Case 3: Configuring Conditional Navigation in a Classic CREF That has an Alternate Mobile Application Platform (MAP) Page

This sample scenario illustrates a case in which you have a MAP page for the approval process. For example, the MAP CREF name is HC_APPROVAL_PROMOTION_MAP. You want to configure this MAP CREF as an alternate content reference for a classic content reference. To implement this case, you should complete these steps:

Note:

In the decision matrix, MAP pages are treated as fluid pages.

  1. Open the classic approval content reference.

  2. Configure the classic content reference with the MAP CREF as the alternate content reference.

    Attribute Name Attribute Value

    CN_DISPLAYMODE_1

    FLUID=HC_APPROVAL_PROMOTION_MAP

After configuring conditional navigation, when a user clicks the classic approval page, the MAP approval page will be displayed instead of the classic approval page.
