Preview Personalization

After completing personalization, the changes need to be published. Before publishing, it is recommended to review the changes.

For external supplier registration:

After making your changes, navigate to the register-supplier (supply chain management > register supplier > supplier-registration) and then access the menu options. Click the share menu option to open the Share Application Extension popup. On this popup, click the Share button and wait for process to complete. After the process is complete, copy the URL from the Application URL text box. Now, change the copied URL by appending with “&” followed by the ID of your registration request URL (refer to the following example).

Example URL copied from VB Studio: …/fscmUI/redwood?vbdt%3ApreferExtensionVersion=%24vb_sb_none_f85b01769589 e1ad6128duchad823ndc

Registration URL (from Configure Procurement Business Function setup): …/fscmUI/redwood/supplier-registration/register-supplier/register-supplierverification?id=V19A293clO%Adj348AD9238s%2BSkVLYa84Xer4aljROGsA%3D%3D

Constructed URL: Use this URL to test your extension …/fscmUI/redwood?vbdt%3ApreferExtensionVersion=%24vb_sb_none_f85b01769589 e1ad6128duchad823ndc&id=V19A293clO%Adj348AD9238s%2BSkVLYa84Xer4aljROG sA%3D%3D

For internal supplier registration:

Click to share the personalization and then append the URL with &RegistrationSource=INTERNAL_REQUEST or &RegistrationSource=SSP_REQUEST to review changes in the internal supplier registration for suppliers or responsive self-service procurement work areas respectively.

For internal supplier registration, these preview URLs will open requests in independent browser tabs and therefore some of the actions like cancel and submit will not give same result as that of requests accessed from work area.

After verifying the changes through the preview link, you can publish your changes.

Consider these when you’re extending the capabilities of the next generation supplier self-service registration:

  • Any personalization done will be applicable to all the supplier registration flows unless a condition is included based on the registration source.
  • At any point in time, only one business rules set will be applicable for an attribute. The sets are evaluated from top to bottom and the first applicable set is considered. You must therefore position the always applied extension business rules set towards the bottom. If none of the extension rules apply, default (built-in) rules will be considered when rendering the page.
  • Adding conditions on extension business rules isn’t mandatory.
  • To rename attributes, you need to use the user interface text tool editor.
