UI Map Portal

The UI Map page has been converted to a portal, leveraging a more flexible and extendable user interface metaphor. The portal organizes information in a way that makes it easier to review the UI map's configuration and includes the following key features:

  • Better use of the Main tab space to display information concisely. For example, have the HTML editor more easily accessible.
  • A more comprehensive list of references to the UI Map and its schema.
  • Uncluttering of the sidebar by moving UI Map tips to the new portal.

Converting the UI Map page to a portal allows for a better user experience for implementers setting up and reviewing UI maps. There is no impact to existing extensions with this enhancement.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

A new business object (BO) for UI Map and a new Determine BO algorithm linked to the Maintenance Object were introduced. The base BO includes all the user interface behavior designed for the new portal. If your implementation has introduced your own CM business object and CM Determine BO algorithm, you should review your business object's configuration and align it with the base business object.

Upgrade scripts ensure that users with Read access to the existing application service will have access to the new application service associated with the new portal. The table below lists the existing and new application services.
