URL InfoObjects Customizaton

URL InfoObjects are used to display web pages hosted on the Internet or Intranet. The URL InfoObject catalog is the primary customization place of the URL InfoObjects.

URL InfoObject Catalog

Open the URL InfoObject catalog from the Sidebar InfoObject to define and manage the individual URL InfoObjects. All of the URL InfoObjects listed in this catalog can be found in the InfoObject Selector under the appropriate InfoObject category and can be dragged into the desktop.

Note: The availability of URL InfoObjects in the InfoObject Selector also depends on the Authorization settings. The InfoObjects have to be authorized as Technical Object Types in the Authorization Manager to be available.

URL InfoObjects in the Edit View

If you want to edit the existing URL InfoObject or create a new URL InfoObject, select 'Edit' or 'Create' from the right-click menu. The URL InfoObject editor opens.

The URL InfoObject editor contains the following elements:
