What are the supported and unsupported EL expressions?
Use EL expressions to control the visibility of navigation entries such as groups, page entries, and quick actions, as well as infolets and announcements on the UI. You can tailor the visibility based on user roles. For example, you can use EL expressions to show or hide a group or page entry on the Navigator and the home page. The evaluation of the EL expression decides whether these entries are displayed for users with specific roles.
Here are a few things to know about using EL expressions.
- Use an EL expression that can be evaluated from any page because the Navigator is used on all pages. So, don't use product-specific EL expressions.
- Don't include line breaks or double quotes in EL expressions.
- Don't copy EL expressions from Word into the expression editor, as hidden characters might cause errors. Use a text editor or type them manually instead.
