ATG CA - BCC home screen : how to add a new link


          Activity source is the property which controls the links on the left nav on the BCC home screen. All activity sources are registered with the ActivityManager component at /atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager. When rendering the BCC home page, the ActivityManager cycles through all the registered ActivitySource components and displays left navigation links for each of them on the BCC home page.

For example if I want to add a new link "My New Link" , below screen shots exaplins how this can be done

1. Add  activityManager.properties to specify the activityresources. In this  activityManager, I specified one MyActivitySource.


2. Add  MyActivitySource.properties  to specify the name of the link and the other details . Here it refers to a bundle properties file.


 3. Add  the bundle properties file  to specify the name of the link.


 4. Now you could see the new link @ BCC home page .



Each activity source has the following important functions:
  • Specifies the links on the left nav used for browsing repositories (via a genericActivities.xml file)
  • Specifies the links on the left nav used for creating a project to create and/or edit assets (via a workflowActivities.xml file)
  • Destination page to go to after the project has been created in step (2)
