Managing Homepage Tabs in Custom Tabs Navigation Collections

PeopleTools allows you to use specially designed navigation collections as definitions for custom homepage tabs. These navigation collections allow you to create links to local or remote content references that are then rendered as homepage tabs. Because simple content references can be added to these collections, you can designate any content reference or WorkCenter as a homepage tab. The requirement for creating such a “custom tabs” navigation collection is that the links must reside in the root folder of the navigation collection; links in subfolders will not be displayed as homepage tabs. Once a navigation collection has been created, it can be designated for use as homepage tabs in the Custom Tabs field on the Branding System Options page or on the Assign Branding Themes page.

PeopleSoft Interaction Hub delivers the Custom Tabs (PAPP_CUSTOM_TAB) navigation collection, which provides examples of how to link to remote content as custom homepage tabs. See Custom Tabs Navigation Collection for more information.

In addition, you can create and maintain your own custom tabs navigation collections.
