Customizing Web Part behavior on Microsoft SharePoint pages

You can use parameters in the Web Part URL to customize behavior, such as overriding the default desktop, repository, or root folder. You can also specify a default search or default work list, and you can limit users to the default search or the default work list only.

About this task

When you add a Web Part to a Microsoft SharePoint page, a default URL is generated that connects to the IBM® Content Navigator server. The default URL includes the default feature and default desktop. However, if you want to modify the behavior of the Web Part to be appropriately tailored for specific user needs, you can append parameters to the default URL.

Procedure

To customize Web Part behavior:

  1. Log in to the Microsoft SharePoint site, and select the site or subsite where the Microsoft SharePoint page is displayed.
  2. From the Microsoft SharePoint page, click Edit.
  3. Select the Web Part, open the pop-up menu, and then click Edit Web Part.
  4. In the Page Viewer pane, modify the URL by appending parameters as needed. If you want to open the Web Part with one or more of the following options, append one or more of the parameters to the default URL:
    Web Part Behavior and parameters
    Browse
    Change the repository
    Use the repository parameter and the ID of the repository in IBM Content Navigator that you want to open instead of the default repository. For example, if the repository ID is myObjectStore, then append the following text to the URL: &repository=myObjectStore.
    Restriction: The repository that you specify must be one of the selected repositories in your desktop.
    Change the root folder of the repository
    Use the folder parameter and the ID of the folder that you want displayed as the top node of the navigation tree instead of the root folder. For example, you can append the following text to the URL to open the folder that is associated with the specified folder ID: &folder={CD94024D-14B9-4043-ADE8-3AF46427C184}.
    Search
    Open with a default search
    Use the defaultSearch parameter and the ID of a stored search if you want to run the search and display the results when you open the Search Web Part. For example, if the search ID is d3feae31-2a71-4746-81b8-924c3dafa3ec, then append the following text to the URL: &defaultSearch=d3feae31-2a71-4746-81b8-924c3dafa3ec.
    Limit users to the default search only
    If you want to limit users to work with the default search only, you can set the defaultSearchOnly parameter to true. For example, after the defaultSearch parameter, you can add the following text to limit the search: &defaultSearchOnly=true.
    Work
    Open with a default work list
    For IBM Content Manager repositories, use the worklist parameter and the ID of the work list if you want to display the specified work list when you open the Work Web Part. For example, if the work list ID is myWorkList, then append the following text to the URL: &worklist=myWorkList.
    For FileNet® P8 repositories, use the three in-basket parameters, applicationSpace, role, and worklist. Use the appropriate IDs of the in-basket that you want to display when you open the Work web part. For example, if the application space is myApplicationSpace, the role is Author and the worklist is myInBasketWorkList, then append the following text to the URL:
    &applicationSpace=myApplication
    Space&role=Author&worklist=my
    InBasketWorkList
    .
    Limit users to the default work list only
    If you want to limit users to view the default work list only, then you can hide the navigation tree by setting the allWork parameter to false. For example, after the worklist parameter, you can append the following text to the URL: &allWork=false.
    Any Web Part
    Change the desktop
    Use the desktop parameter and the ID of the desktop that you want to use instead of the default desktop. For example, if the desktop ID is myCustomDesktopForReviewers, then append the following text to the URL:
    &desktop=myCustomDesktopFor
    Reviewers
    .
  5. Save your changes.
