Create Pages for Hosting Third-Party Applications

Use the Page Integration tool to create pages for hosting third-party applications to address needs specific to your organization.

All the new pages are initially placed in a single category or group, and then you can move them to other groups using the Structure work area.

Create the First Page

Follow these steps to create the first page.

1. Activate a sandbox that has the Page Integration tool in it.

2. From the Navigator menu, select Configuration > Page Integration.

3. Click New Page.

4. On the Create Page page, enter a page name.

5. In the Category Name field, enter a name for the group to place your page in.

   Note: Your new page is placed in the group that you create here. You can later move your new page from this group to any other group using the Structure work area. But the Page Integration tool shows the moved pages in the group that you create here.

6. Search and select an icon for the page.

7. From the list of application roles, select the role to whom you want to grant access to the page. This list contains only custom roles because you can't modify predefined roles.

8. In the Web Page field:

   • Enter the application URL that you want to host on this page.

   • Alternatively, you can create a secure web page URL:

     1. Click the Create Secure Web Page URL icon.

     2. Select the name of the web application.

     3. Enter the destination for the web application.

     4. Enter a secure token name.

     5. Save and close the Create Secure Web Page URL dialog box.

     In a secure web page, the application validates the secure token and uses it to authenticate web services within the end-user context. Using this mode of modified access, a partner can directly perform an action or display information to the specific user without any additional authentication.

9. Click Save and Close.

   The new pages are secure. Your security administrator must assign the privileges shown on the Page Integration Overview page to users such that they can access these pages.

If you have only one page in a group, then that page icon appears at the top level (not in any group) on the springboard. However, such page icons appear in their respective categories on the Navigator menu.

Create Subsequent Pages

After you created the first page, you can create the subsequent pages.

1. On the Page Integration Wizard: New Pages page, click New Page.

2. On the Create Page page, enter a page name.

3. Search and select an icon for the page.

4. From the list of application roles, select the role to whom you want to grant access to the page.

5. In the Web Page field:

   • Enter the application URL that you want to host on this page.

   • Alternatively, you can create a secure web page URL.

6. Click Save and Close.

After you have created the first page, all subsequent pages are placed in the same group as that of the first page, by default.
