Further configure your tile

In this topic, you learn how to further configure your tile, including the sidepanel, navigation, documentation, role, and translation.

Prerequisites

Procedure

Sidepanel

Select an application to be displayed in the side panel of your tile. If your tile already opens an application, the side panel will open on the right with your selected app.

Navigation

In the Navigation tab, you can define semantic objects and actions that are performed on these objects. Semantic objects can be business entities, for example, customer or employee. These objects will be reflected in the URL. For instance: https://your-domain/launchpad/your-launchpad#FieldWorkers-WorkerAction with FieldWorkers being the Semantic Object and WorkerAction the Action.

Ensure to name the Semantic Object and Action for different tiles within the same tile group or launchpad uniquely. If you name different tiles in a tile group or launchpad the same way, only the first instance of the tile application opens upon running.

In the Limit Browser Support section of the Navigation tab, you can select specific browsers that should be supported.

Documentation

Enable documentation for a tile. Add information, media and documentation and have the content available on the tile when selecting the Question Mark button.

Enabling Enable Tile Help will make the button visible in the bottom of the tile.

To enable custom in-app help formatting, you can format the tile help text with the following supported HTML tags.

Supported HTML tags
  • a

  • abbr

  • bdi

  • blockquote

  • br

  • cite

  • code

  • em

  • h1

  • h2

  • h3

  • h4

  • h5

  • h6

  • p

  • pre

  • strong

  • span

  • u

  • dl

  • dt

  • dd

  • ul

  • ol

  • li

You can use the style, dir and target attributes for the supported HTML tags. If the target attribute is not set, links open in a new window by default.

When specifying a link’s URL destination with values for the href attribute, use secure URL schemes to prevent malicious behavior, for example, http:// and https://. Use the URLListValidator to manage allowed URLs and validate against them: UI5 Demo Kit API Reference | URLListValidator.

Nonsupported HTML tags and the content nested inside them are not rendered on runtime.

Role

You can specify that your tile should only be visible to users with a specific role.

Translation

Add a translation for the title, subtitle, description, status, and open button in a language of your choice. You need to select the same language on the launchpad to see your translation.

Where-Used

See in which tile group or launchpad the tile is used. In the Action column, select the icon to open the tile, tile group, or launchpad where the tile is used directly.
