Hi,
Please read this if you are already using Flow Portal Connect.
There are upcoming changes to how you can control your users’ navigation in the portal. Technically, today, the navigation structure (which pages are under which pages, and in what order they are displayed to the user) is configured separately for each environment (Dev, test, and prod). This will be moved to Dev only, and, behind the scenes, it will be stored in the Hub rather than in the Portal itself.
We hope this will be as smooth as possible, but we apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. What you need to do:
• Before Monday 23rd,3 pm CET: ensure that the portal navigation in the Portal Dev environment reflects the page navigation structure that you want for Dev, Test, and Prod going forward.
• Tuesday 24th,Deploy any app or portal page to Test and Prod.
• On Wednesday, the 25th,the Navigation structure from Dev will be applied to Test and Prod Environments.
• From this date, portal Navigation can be managed either from the hub or, as before, from the portal. But only from the Dev environment (deployed to test and prod when anything is deployed)
Or
More details:
Portal navigationdefines the order and hierarchy of portal pages (how users navigate between pages in Portal Connect via the top or sidebar menu) .
Today, each environment (Dev, Test, Prod) maintains its own navigation structure, resulting in both administrative and architectural overhead. Portal navigation will be centralized and deployed with the Hu b.
The existing Portal Navigation will be migratedfrom Portal Dev to the Hub’s dev environme nt**.**
• Important! The Portal Navigation will, at this point, only reside in Dev in Hub and will be deployed to Test and/or prod the next time you deploy anything (any App, Automation, or Portal page). Portal pages in test and prod will exist in a flat page structure until the next deployment.
Questions and Answers
Q: Will this affect me if I am not using the Connect portal?
A: No.
Q: Can I publish only a navigation tree?
A: No. Navigation is configured in the Hub, but is deployed only when you publish other artifacts.
Q: What happens if I do nothing?
A: On the date above, Portal page navigation will be managed from the Hub in Dev. The portal page structure will be flat in the portal for Test and Prod until the next deployment (of any artifact).
Q: Will users see pages they do not have permission to access?
A: No. Page visibility still follows the existing permission model (groups and application packages).
