Configuring the Landing Page

Caution: 
Do not move standard cards and links that are assigned to a specific tab to another tab on the Landing Page, for example, from the Entity tab to the Group tab and vice versa. Moving the cards and links to the tab to which they are not assigned by default can cause navigation errors. This is because of the differences in the context parameters that are passed to a report.
  1. Select Modules > Consolidation > Core and click Data Management.
  2. In the Consolidation Data Management wizard, customize the Financial Consolidation's Landing Page by performing any of these actions:
    • Add or delete lanes. Click Add Lane and specify the lane name or select the existing lane in the grid and click Delete Lane. You can delete only custom lanes. Added lanes are displayed on the Landing Page if they have at least one card.
    • Add cards. Select a lane and click Add Card. Specify the card name. If required, select the check and the status by which the card is controlled. Optionally, add pages linked to the card by clicking Add Link. You can add multiple linked pages.
      Note: A page can be linked to a card only if a link to the page is displayed in the application's navigation tree. Sometimes, links to custom reports that you have created in Application Studio and added to a custom application are not displayed in the navigation tree. To solve this issue, perform these steps in Business Modeling:
      1. Select Custom Extensions > Reports.
      2. Select Consolidation from the application list.
      3. Search for an existing report in the navigation tree or add a report by clicking Add Report.
      4. For the existing report, click the report and switch on the Show in navigation option in the panel with the report's properties.

        For the added report, specify the required report parameters and switch on the Show in navigation option in the Add Report wizard. Click Save.

      5. Publish the model.
    • Edit or delete cards. Select a card and click Edit Card or Delete Card. You can delete only custom cards.
    • Assign a standard or custom status for a specific card in the Status column. Then, that status controls the card's color, which indicates whether a task exists for a specific process step.
    • Hide lanes, cards, and linked pages from view on the Landing Page. Click the cell in the Hide column for the appropriate lane, card, or linked page.
      Note: If a lane, card, or linked page is configured as hidden on the Landing Page and you select the hidden linked page in the navigation tree, the context of that linked page is not populated automatically. Consequently, the data grid's content is affected. This happens because the entity and group global context can be determined only if lanes, cards, and linked pages are displayed on the Landing Page. This issue does not concern Application Studio-based reports.
    • Specify or edit the order in which the lanes, cards, and linked pages are displayed on the Landing Page. In the Sort column, specify 1 for each lane, card, and linked page that should be displayed first. Specify 2 for each lane, card, and linked page that should be displayed second, and so on.
