I regularly get questions on how we can make changes to Tiles on the Homepage dynamically:
- Display/hide Tiles based on certain conditions
- Use different Tile title/content based on certain conditions
- Dynamic Tile content could be achieved using the Tile Wizard Classes.
- And so on...
And every time I struggle to remember and find this reference to an old Oracle community discussion:
https://community.oracle.com/tech/apps-infra/discussion/4052095/hide-fluid-tile-from-a-homepage
Just to avoid searching for this again, I am sharing/documenting this link on my blog. 😇
On this thread, Divesh Gupta shared an idea to use Event Mapping on the Fluid Homepage to dynamically display/hide Tiles.
Component: PT_LANDINGPAGE.GBL
CREF: Fluid Structure Content > Fluid Pages > PeopleSoft Applications > Fluid Home
This is a brilliant idea which could be extended for many use cases. It opens up the door for all sorts of dynamic customizations (without the overhead of a customized object). I refer to this on several occasions and hope you find it useful!
Also, be on the look out for a new feature that is planned for PeopleTools 8.59!
