Menus dynamically added in the mashup??

[bmarimuthu-2]

Hi!!

I want to create menus dynamically.

In briief, I have certain menus with child submenus already .But If I want to add a new menu as parent, I have to do more modifications(only static am able to do).

Is there any way to create menus dynamically get added up in the mashup??

Currently there is no such feature available. We do have an enhancement request open for the dynamic menu manipulation, PSPT-3345.

Ok. Thanks!!

Recently I was asked a similar question. As mentioned there is no current feature but I explored the idea of a container mashup that changes the mashup with a defined menu for different organizations (or group) . The approach is to run a service helper on Mashup load and decide which Mashup to add. This may not be as dynamic as you require but maybe a stop gap.

For example

var ORG1 ="ORG1";

var ORG2 ="ORG2";

var ORG3 ="ORG3";

var params = {

dummyValue: undefined /* STRING */

};

// result: STRING

var dummyOrg = me.GetSessionDummyOrg(params);

if (dummyOrg === ORG1) {

    result = "PTC-ORG1-MENU-MASHUP";

} else if( dummyOrg === ORG2 ) {

      result = "PTC-ORG2-MENU-MASHUP";

} else if( dummyOrg === ORG3 ) {

        result = "PTC-ORG3-MENU-MASHUP";

} else {

        result = "PTC-RESTRICTEDORG-MENU-MASHUP";

}

Note : The XXXX-MASHUP string are predefined Mashups with predefined menus

Hi One moment,

If the question it's Menu's can be dynamic, the answer it's totally yes.

You just need to set it the property ConfiguredOrDataDriven to Data-driven and build a service which fills the menu options, that's all.

I will take another look. I did see that and thought it should do what I wanted - Got into coding around the issue to early !

Here is a better version - obviously needs some methods and real data - This is a little different than having multiple mashups

var params = {

infoTableName : "InfoTable",

dataShapeName : "MenuEntry"

};

// CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(infoTableName:STRING("InfoTable"), dataShapeName:STRING):INFOTABLE(MenuEntry)

var result = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(params);

// MenuEntry entry object

var newEntry = new Object();

newEntry.linkDestination = undefined; // STRING - isPrimaryKey = true

newEntry.isDefault = undefined; // BOOLEAN

newEntry.parentMenuId = undefined; // STRING

newEntry.linkTarget = undefined; // STRING

newEntry.imageURL = undefined; // IMAGELINK

newEntry.description = undefined; // STRING

newEntry.menuId = undefined; // STRING

newEntry.linkType = undefined; // STRING - isPrimaryKey = true

newEntry.title = undefined; // STRING

var ORG1 ="ORG1";

var ORG2 ="ORG2";

var ORG3 ="ORG3";

var params = {

dummyValue: undefined /* STRING */

};

// result: STRING

var dummyOrg = me.GetSessionDummyOrg(params);

if (dummyOrg === ORG1) {

    // MenuEntry entry object

    var newEntry = new Object();

    newEntry.isDefault = undefined; // BOOLEAN

    newEntry.parentMenuId = undefined; // STRING

    newEntry.linkTarget = undefined; // STRING

    newEntry.imageURL = undefined; // IMAGELINK

    newEntry.description = undefined; // STRING

    newEntry.menuId = undefined; // STRING

    newEntry.linkDestination = "PTC-PRG-MU"; // STRING - isPrimaryKey = true

    newEntry.linkType = "Mashup"; // STRING - isPrimaryKey = true

    newEntry.title = "Menu1 ORG1"; // STRING

    result.AddRow(newEntry);

    newEntry.linkDestination = "PTC-PRG-MU"; // STRING - isPrimaryKey = true

    newEntry.linkType = "Mashup"; // STRING - isPrimaryKey = true

    newEntry.title = "Menu2 ORG1"; // STRING

    result.AddRow(newEntry);

    newEntry.linkDestination = "PTC-PRG-MU"; // STRING - isPrimaryKey = true

    newEntry.linkType = "Mashup"; // STRING - isPrimaryKey = true

    newEntry.title = "Menu3 ORG1"; // STRING
