Fiori My Inbox - App to App navigation? How ?

[Former Member]

I have read about My inbox feature of App to App navigation however I couldn't find any documentation/configuration to do that. Does anyone done it? Is there a configuration for it? or should this be done by a Fiori Extension/enhancement ?

What I am trying to achieve is basically utilize My Inbox as a single point for all my WFs and then navigate to existing UI5 applications to see WF application details, for instance go from My inbox to PO approval app( details screen ) without exiting My inbox.

Any ideas of how to achieve this ?

Hi Albert,

Standard way I dont think this is possible out of the box. You need to add logic for CrossAppNavigation.

Check how to do it : Developing Navigation to Another SAP Fiori App - User Interface Add-On for SAP NetWeaver - SAP Libra...

The following best practices will help you develop navigation between your SAP Fiori apps:

1) Use the CrossApplicationNavigation service When developing cross-app navigation, use the CrossApplicationNavigation service to construct shell fragments and links from local fragments. Do not construct them yourself.

2) When developing cross-app navigation, use startup parameters to pass information to the next app.

3) In the launchpad intent, use single-value parameters only. Multi-valued parameters are not recommended.

4) Do not use deep links to the app-specific fragment for passing information to the next app.

Hope you succeed and come up with one blog on this We can just direct you the steps.

Best example for cross app navigation is "People profile" not sure if you have checked this.

Whenever you develop cross app, make sure you also come back to the previous app, which can be achieved by calling the browser history.

All the best

Tejas

Hi Albert,

Just sharing my experience in customer projects.

Best practice is having dedicated tiles by task types in the launchpad. Fiori launchpad is the single point of entry and user sees immediately number of items on dedicated tiles. My Inbox is used for several tiles if there is no standard approval app. It is easy to understand what user should do next.

Approvers in Line of Business very like this way. Only IT people says everything should be in my Inbox.

Hello @masa_139,

Thanks for having shared that best practice. I fully agree. However, I recently discovered the To-Do section in My Home (new FLP version). By default it seems this section aggregates all work items the user received. When clicking on a task, it opens in the default My Inbox (allItems), getting rid of any scenario config. Is there here any config available to redirect to dedicated Inbox by process ?

Thanks for your answer,

Best regards,

Olivier
