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)

Search Facets - how to create a new search facets in ATG Search

A Facet is a search refinement element that corresponds to a property of a commerce item type. ATG supports the search result refinement using the Faceted Search concept. Read more about facted search @  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_search . Facet can either be ranges or specific values. Each facet is stored in the RefinementRepository as a separate refineElement repository item. Facets are divided into Global and Local facets. Global facets apply to all the categories and local facets only to the category in which they are created. For example Price/Brand can be considered as the facets that are common for all skus and New Release/Coming Soon can be considered as the facets that are specific to Physical Media products like Vidoe/DVD/Blue-ray/Books. We can use the ATG BCC - Merchandising UI to create facets. The Faceting Property depends on the meta-properties defined in the \atg\commerce\search\product-catalog-output-config.xml ( the def...
