FLP on EP : SubLaunch Pad and Dynamic File Name

[Former Member]

Experts,

We are renovating our Enterprise portal by implementing FLP on EP. Basic configurations are completed and we are able to launch FLP for portal with few tiles.

Need your expert advice to configure below requirements.

• In one folder of KM content we have PDF files like Schedule Oct 1^st 2018 to Oct 8^th 2018.pdf, Schedule Oct 9^th 2018 to Oct 15^th 2018.pdf, and Schedule Oct 16^th 2018 to Oct 24^th 2018.pdf. How to configure tile which will always display latest file from available files. In short how to develop Iviews with dynamic file name.

• We want to create one tile as “BW Queries” on Main FLP. On click this tile should open sub launch pad which will have further categories as Sales, Inventory, Finance and Purchasing .Sales Category will have sales queries, and Inventory category will have inventory queries and so on. Please guide to configure sub launch pad through tile of main launch pad.

Thanks & Regards,

Sanjog

Hi,

A tile on FLP is just a link(URL) to launch and application, unless you create a custom tile which displays from overview info.

Both of your requirements CANNOT be solved by just configurations. You need to develop custom applications for these to achieve.

The first part of your requirement can be solved by creating a simple custom application which would retrieve data from a specific KM folder. You can write a portal component(or something else) and build logic to ready a KM folder. You can take a folder name as the parameter for this custom portal component and return all the files within the KM folder. Return that data as a JSON which can be used in the UI. Write a simple application using SAPUI5 libraries. This should be NOT a complex one, just a table displaying the KM information and one of the column or table row can be a clickable link which should open the file from KM(the custom portal component should have the KM URL of the file).

And second requirement is also on similar lines.Develop a SAPUI5 application and clicking of the main tile in FLP, should navigate to the app in the first screen show the list in a dropdown(could be a hard coded values or dynamic) or table and clicking on it should take you to specific category queries(folder) or write your own application and pull the information from BW system.

Both of these requirements are doable but involves some amount of custom development.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
