Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

In node Generic Tiles single generic tiles can be defined which can be divided into groups of generic tiles.

Note: The requirements for this section is the configuration of the property "modern" within the project linking landing page.

 

If you want to summarize your generic tiles into groups then create a new node Group of generic tiles and define title, font color and font size of the group title.

Tile identifier

Tile name. An unique identifier of the tile. Please avoid use of special character data in the identifier, like space, non-ASCII characters, UTF-8 characters, which should be encoded or misunderstood in a URL.

Access control ID

Access control ID needed for access control based on usermanagement module.

If an ID is configured here (eg 'MY_GENERIC_TILE') and WebOffice usermanagement module is used, the user role is checked whether it provides the necessary application right or not (according to the example the application right would be MY_GENERIC_TILE). If the necessary application right is not available, the generic tile and hence the link for accessing the tile's site will not be available in WebOffice 10.7 SP1.

Note: More detailed information about the configuration of the restrictions within the UserManagement Admin Web you can find in the chapter applications.
