Invisible in Navigation Areas and Entry Point

[Former Member]

Hi everybody

I have a doubt; hope some one can help meu2026

I need to have a QuickLink on the portal (http:hostname:port/irj/portal/QuickLink), so I created a page that contains an iviewu2026.. at this point itu2019s all right.

I read that in order to display the iView/page (quicklink), the iView/page should be a part of the role to which the user has been assigned. The role should be available as an entry point so that the iView/page is displayed as part of the useru2019s navigation tree.

So I created a role, assign it to my page (quicklink) and put u201CEntry pointu201D to u201CYesu201D. I need that this role must be invisible, so I put the u201CInvisible in Navigation Areasu201D properties to u201CYesu201D, but still show it in the Navigation Roles Area.

Itu2019s possible to have a role with the properties entry point yes and invisible yes?

Thanks for your help

It doesn't really make sense to be an entry point and invisible!

The entry point decides what's in the top level nav. It is normally a folder name. Invisible applies to an iView, normally underneath a folder.

Have you tried adding the page with your quicklinked iView to an existing role?

Yes I tried and works, but the situation is that we have a program that helps you to create the users and assign the roles that you want to the users (it's a list and you can assign the roles available on the list).

But the developer guy ask me for a quicklink to have a special funcionality but they don't want to have on the roles tabs, so because the roles are not always the same I can't assign it to a specific role.

Thanks for your help

I'm not sure I understand why they want something that doesn't appear in a role. Can you make a new role and then use mergeids to merge it with existing roles?
