Hi Lokeswar,

I hope it helps you to understand better ...

Logical Link: It a small unit in web ui and can be used in direct link groups , second level navigation or work center pages.

Direct Link Groups :Is part of navigation bar and provides direct access to specific business content with one click .

Work Center : Describes and provides access to business content . The work center page is collection of logical link for business content and grouped in link groups .

Hi Lokeshwar,

As Experts clearly describes , In Technically

You can define logical link , direct link and wok center  in SPRO transaction.

spro->Customer Relationship Management->UI Framework->Define Navigation Bar Profile

Here you can Define Logical Links , Define Work Center Link Groups and

Assign Links To Work Center Link Group

similarly Define Work Centers and Define Direct Link Groups and assign to relevant groups to navigation bar profile.

Before Defining Logical Link you have to create first Target Id through a

Define Work Area Component Repository

Create New Entries -> Give Component Name , Window Name and add Inbound Plug to that component  - > Add target id  , object id and action and  save.

Hi lokeshvar,

Logical link :  logical link point to your target id

direct link Group : inside of direct link group we assign logical link . You can think this is the group of logical link which we can directly see on ui.

work center : work center contains work center group and work center group contains again logical link. So You can think it is for two step navigation.
