Configure the Navigator and Page Entries on the Home Page for Navigation

Use the Navigation Configuration page to configure the Navigator and page entries on the home page.

You can do either of these tasks:

• Create a group and then create a page entry in that group.

• Create a page entry in an existing group.

Create Groups

1. Activate a sandbox that has the Structure tool in it.

2. Click Navigator > Configuration > Structure.

3. On the Navigation Configuration page, click Create, and select Create Group.

4. Enter a name for the group.

5. Search and select an icon for the group.

6. From the Show on Navigator list, select Yes, No, or EL Expression.

   • Yes: The group appears on the Navigator.

   • No: The group doesn't appear on the Navigator and the home page.

   • EL expression: The evaluation of the EL expression decides whether the group will appear on the Navigator and the home page for specific user roles.

7. If you have selected EL Expression from the Show on Navigator list, click the Edit icon next to the Show on Navigator list. Then enter a value or expression, and click Validate to make sure that the validation result is True. Don't include spaces or double quotes in the EL expression.

8. Click Save and Close.

Create Page Entries

1. Activate a sandbox that has the Structure tool in it.

2. Click Navigator > Configuration > Structure.

3. On the Navigation Configuration page, click Create, and select Create Page Entry.

4. Enter a name for the page entry.

5. Search and select an icon for the page entry.

9. If you have selected Yes or EL Expression from the Show on Navigator list, select a value from the Show on Springboard list. The value from this list is evaluated to determine if the page entry will actually appear on the home page.

   • Yes: The page entry appears on the home page.

     Suppose you have selected EL Expression from the Show on Navigator list. Then, even on selecting Yes from the Show on Springboard list, the page entry may not appear on the home page. The evaluation of the EL expression decides whether these items will actually appear on the home page.

   • No: The page entry doesn't appear on the home page.

   • EL expression: The evaluation of the EL expression decides whether the page entry will appear on the home page.

10. From the Mobile Enabled list, select Yes or No to specify whether the page entry will be available for mobile devices. This setting isn't applicable for the panel or banner layout.

    • A dynamic URL of an external page (outside your application) where the host, port, or context root might change.

    • A Static URL of an external page (outside your application) where the host, port, or context root doesn't change.

12. Based on the link type, specify the required details to configure the link.
