Tile Settings

Introduction

This page will cover the functionality of the tile settings.

Settings

In the Tile Settings section, you maintain general settings and tile type.

Active

Controls overall access to the tile and action behind by turning the Access setting to Yes/No. Use this to temporarily remove the tile from all tile groups, launchpad and mobile clients.

Name

Give the tile a good recognizable name. This will not be visible for the end user.

Type

The tile type controls the visual presentation of the tile. Do not confuse the "tile type" with the "action type", which controls what happens when the open button is clicked:

  • 1 Default: Static tile content build from the cockpit tile configuration.

  • 2 Integration Card: Based on sap.ui.integration.widgets.Card.

  • 3 Live Application: Run standalone Neptune application in tile.

  • 4 Dynamic: Classic micro charts.

  • 5 RSS Feed: Content is consumed from an RSS Feed.

  • 6 Broadcast: Short broadcast message.

Information

In the information section you add information that will be visible to the end user. The information fields can be translated in the translation section.

Tags can be added to help the user when searching tiles.

Visibility

All Neptune content can be built very responsive, all applications should be able to run on small phones, tablets and large desktops. The Neptune launchpad can be configured to look good on all screen sizes. But, if you have tiles that are not meant to be used on certain platforms, you can set visibility based on desktop, tablet, phone & Cordova support.

Hide Launchpad Header

Set the visibility of the launchpad header. When opening an application the Neptune launchpad identifies the device based on the same rules as used to define the visibility of the tile (see section about visibility above).

The end user can decide to show the header by simple sliding down a little from the top. If the launchpad is shown by the end user, the launchpad header can be hidden again in the user setting menu.

It’s also possible to hide the header when loading applications with AppCache.Load. Add the hideHeader parameter and set it to true.

AppCache.Load("PROM_IMAGE", {
    load: "nav",
    navTitle: "Crow",
    navInfo: "Clever bird",
    navIconSrc: "sap-icon://fa-solid/crow",
    hideHeader: true,
    startParams: {
        animal: "crow"
    }
});
