Introduction

The Title of the document sounds weird isn’t it. I admit it does but only until we are not aware what a Category is as per Page we all probably know we refer to a User Interface which has input box, Text items, buttons, informational text, logo, icons …. , in a nutshell a placeholder which displays some information or expects user input to capture some or other information.

But let us try to focus now on what we mean by a category. Category in simple English means Classification for example if you have multiple electronic gadgets we classify them into Laptops, Desktops, iPads, Smartphones…….

In Fusion Applications also we kind of make a virtual group of activities which are closely linked together. In the below screenshot each one of the highlighted text (with yellow color) is a Category.

 

Each of the links under the category is a Application Page which points to a specific page within the application.

Until Release 9 it used to take considerable amount of effort and time in order to add custom pages/web-link onto Fusion Application but starting Release 10 onwards things have become very simple and even newbies can add a new category and application page / static URL.

Let us try to understand the same with a sample example.

Worked Example

In this example we will try to create a Custom Category say ‘Search’ and add a Static URL let us call it Google Search which when clicked upon would take us to Google Search Engine Homepage.

First of all we need to login to the application with appropriate login credentials as shown (we will use HCM_IMPL user )

Once you sign in you will land up in the homepage where from you need to click on the Navigator icon (on the top left hand side)

Once we click on the hyperlink ‘Structure’ it takes us to the below page:

 Once you click on the ‘Edit’ button you would be asked to activate a sandbox (popup message would appear)

Click on the ‘Activate Sandbox’ Button and then select a ‘Sandbox’ and Click on ‘Set as active’.

Do check that a horizontal strip appears on the top confirming that you indeed are in a Sandbox Environment

Yep, the strip does appears. So far so Good. Let us proceed further.

Click on the Create Button and select ‘Create Category’ Option

 

A mouse click on the ‘Create Category’ link brings up a new page which looks as:

Enter the following Values:

 

Create Category

Attribute Name

Attribute Value

*Name

Search

Icon

<Default Icon> ( Non-Editable)

Visible

Yes (Defaulted)

 

Once the values are entered the screen would appear as below:

Next Click on ‘Save and Close’.

Now we need to create a New Page by choosing ‘Create Page Entry’ as shown:

 

And this would bring us to the following page:

 

Next, we will populate the fields with the below values from the table:

 

Create Page Entry

Attribute Name

Attribute Value

*Name

Google Search

*Icon

Choose a Suitable Icon from the Available List.

Category

Search ( The Category we created above)

Visible

Yes

Show on Welcome Springboard

No

Link Type

Static URL

Secure Destination

Unchecked

Destination

https://www.google.co.in

 

And the UI screen post the values are populated would look as below:

Next Click on the ‘Save and Close’ Button (on the top right hand side) and we would see that the new Category ‘Search’ and Page ‘Google Search’ appears on the ‘Structure’ Page

 

Also note that the ‘Show on Welcome Springboard’ option is unchecked for the ‘Google Search’ Page which means that the icon would not be available on the Welcome Springboard.

 

But before that we should take a quick look at how does the new Category and Page appears on the Navigator Menu

 Hover your cursor over the ‘Google Search’ icon and

It takes us to the Google Search page

Good!

But let us see how the Welcome Springboard looks like. We can navigate to the same via using the ‘Home’ icon on top of the page

 

As we can see from the above screen that there is no visual resemblance of the new page here and that’s because we chose the same to not be visible on the springboard.

Let us now change the settings and bring the icon here.

To incorporate this change we need to again navigate to Tools->Structure, select the ‘Google Search’ page and change the ‘Show on Welcome Springboard’ attribute value to ‘Yes’ from ‘No’.

 

And then click on ‘Save and Close’

Next we will navigate to the homepage and we should be able to see the new page ‘Google Search’ along with the icon.

An icon does appear as shown above. But let us verify (whether the same takes us to the expected screen)  this before we conclude this demonstration. And we would do so by a simple click on the icon

 

We could see that we were re-directed to the Google page as expected and with this we come to the conclusion of this article.

I believe this was useful and you all would be able to use the feature in your implementation projects.

Hello just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few
of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

Most people think that in buying used motorcycle parts for sale at a salvage yard, they will just waste
their money and time. A variety of salvage
yards are available to offer you the best satisfaction. They aren't an area for
storage of motor components. Motor parts like battery
chassis, chassis, and more can all be purchased in good operating condition.

May I simply just say what a relief to find someone that actually
knows what they're talking about on the web. You actually understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
A lot more people should read this and understand
this side of your story. I can't believe you're not more popular given that
you certainly possess the gift.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the
video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence
on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

Asking questions are in fact good thing if you are not understanding anything completely, except this paragraph provides pleasant understanding even.
