3531656 - Is it possible to create navigation URL for a custom MDF portlet?

Symptom

  • Create a navigation URL for a custom MDF
  • Is it possible to configure a Custom Tile to navigate to a specific MDF portlet in People Profile?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Access the instance
  2. Click on the Home page tile configured for custom MDF portlet.
  3. User is directed to Personal Information Portlet which is the first portlet in People Profile instead of the custom portlet.

Cause

Resolution

  • Currently on SuccessFactors there is no way to configure this navigation from a Custom Tile to a specific MDF portlet in People Profile page.
  • The portlet/block ID feature that is implemented for Standard blocks/portlets is not available for custom MDF blocks/portlets yet.
  • However, you can still use the tile "My Profile" that is present in the catalog, that will redirect the users who click on it to the People Profile, and there the users will be able to navigate to the specific MDF portlet.
  • You can submit an enhancement providing this idea of change directly to our Product Managers to have this functionality considered within future development cycles. You can see how to do this in the following KBA: 2090228 - How to Submit Enhancement Requests for SAP SuccessFactors Products
