Linking to a view, using inbound plugs

[Former Member]

Hi.

I have enhanced a component, using transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB. I've created a new view, and a new inbound plug for the window.

Now I want to create a link in the navigation bar, that would display the new view.

I managed to create the link and relate it to the inbound plug, but I don't know how to get from the window's inbound plug to the view.

How can it be done?

Best regards,

Hi,

Try assigning the newly created view to the window in Runtime repository.

Hi.

Thank you both for answering.

In the Repository Editor, I've added to the window both the view and the inbound plug I've created. But I couldn't find the follow-up navigation - how can I get to it?

I tried to add a new navigation link, but it only connects 2 views - I couldn't find the window in there.

So how should it be done?

Best regards,

Udi.

Hi,

first of all create a navigational link.

As source view you can add your window (use F4 help).

As target you can add any view that is assigned to a window.

To create the follow-up navigation go to the runtime respository editor -> windows -> "yourWindow" -> right click on inbound plug -> add plug with follow-up navigation.

Here you fill in a name for the plug and the name of the navigational link you created.

Thank you for your reply.

The navigaion link links between outbound and inbound plugs, so I created an outbound plug for the window, and the link links between that and the view's inbound plug.

I also created a follow-up navigation plug, wrote the navigation link, and in the target I wrote the window and it's outbound plug (I didn't really understand what's the target for).

Is that correct?

Hi,

in the follow-up navigation you do not need to insert a target view. Just insert the navigational link.

When you call the inbound plug of the window, the environment checks whether there exists a follow-up navigation of that inbound plug. If true, then the navigational link is called directly and opens the target view.

In the navigational link you do not need a outbound plug of the window, important is, that you have the window as source and the view as target.

Hi,

in the Runtime Repository Editor of the component you can add a inbound plug with follow up navigation for the window.

The follow up navigation calls a navigational Link (also defined in Runtime Repository Editor) where you can navigate from window to your new view.
