Navigation from List Report Responsive Table to Another App on Fiori Launchpad

Hi All

In this blog I’m going to detail on Navigation from a list report responsive table to another app on fiori launchpad using parameters.

Here the other app may or may not be a smart template application. It may also be an URL configured in a Tile on launchpad

This blog details on how to disable the default navigation from a list report to an Object page of a list report application and enable cross application navigation using parameters.

Pre-Requisites

  1. Create a List Report application and configure it on Fiori launchpad- App1(semantic object app11)
  2. Configure another application in a tile on launchpad-App2(semantic object app2)

Steps

  1. Open the manifest.json of app1
  2. Under the sap.app section configure cross navigation as shown below
    "crossNavigation": {
    			"inbounds": {},
    			"outbounds": {
    				"toApp2": {
    					"semanticObject": "app2",
    					"action": "display"
    				}
    			}
    		}
  3. Create a list report extension (right click project->New Extension->list report extension)
  4. in ListReportExt.controller.js we are going to override this method(onListnavigationExtension).here”toApp2″is the name we have given in manifest.
    onListNavigationExtension: function (oEvent) {
    		var oNavigationController = this.extensionAPI.getNavigationController();
    		var oBindingContext = oEvent.getSource().getBindingContext();
    		var oObject = oBindingContext.getObject();
    		oNavigationController.navigateExternal("toApp2", {
    			"anyParamName": oObject.id// Note this is the proprty name from odata
    		});
    		return true;
    	},​

     

  5. .Save and run.
  6. You will get the same carousel icon in list report page, but now it will navigate to app2 with the parameters specified in the URL

      Hello, thanks for the useful blog. How is the navigation triggered from the list report? Just by clicking on the single line? Thanks
