The Fiori configuration cockpit is a browser-based tool used
by administrators to create new, and maintain existing content for Fiori
launchpad. It provides the tools for an
administrator to quickly create and configure apps, catalogs, and groups, and perform
the assignment of these objects to a role. The Fiori configuration cockpit
provides a rich dashboard along with site usage analytics which gives details
on things like site visits, devices, and operating system used to access the
site. It also enables an administrator to configure the runtime settings of a
site.
Administrators can also enable or disable user capabilities
like hiding groups, selecting themes, personalization and search options in the
Fiori launchpad by configuring the site properties. it also provides tools and
services to manage themes, site translations, and also manage the transport of
portal contents.
1) Home,
- where a dashboard is displayed with all the objects that are available for
this portal site.
At the top of the dashboard, you see a
couple of options. The first one is the "Site preview". When you build a site, you have an option to
use the site preview to preview it in different screen sizes and also in
different languages. There's also an option here to "Publish site" – only when you publish a site can end users
start accessing it. The next one is the "Notifications area" – as the name suggests, this is where all
the notifications are provided for an administrator.
At the bottom of the dashboard, there's
also a bit of analytics on the site usage, and also a "Tasks to
Complete" section. So if you have a catalog which is not assigned to a
particular role, that would be listed here in the "Tasks to
Complete".
2) Settings
- This is one of the key areas for an administrator to configure all the
runtime settings of a portal site.
3) Content
Management – Here you can create all the basic building blocks here – apps,
catalogs, groups, and roles.
Now when you click on "Apps", it
lists all the apps which are available for the portal site.
There's also an option available in
"Catalogs" for administrators to go and create new catalogs and
manage existing catalogs. It's a similar thing with "Groups", so you
can list all the groups, manage them. And also you can view all the roles and
manage your role assignments to catalogs and groups from here.
4) Services
and Tools - This is where an administrator would go in to manage site translations. So if you have, say, a
portal site that is deployed in different geographical regions and you need to
have the portal support in different languages, this is where an administrator
would go in and upload translation texts.
There's
also a theme designer, So you can
use the theme designer to theme your portal site and assign themes to a particular site which will enable end
users to also pick and assign the themes.
There's
also an option to manage transport
content, So once you've built your portal site in your dev environment, how do you transport this content to
your production landscape? The "Transport
Manager" provides all the options that would help an administrator to do
that.
5) App
Resources - This page lists all the HTML5 apps which are deployed in the
Cloud Platform account. So you will be able to see application name, the version, and the source
– whether it is a locally deployed app or a subscribed app, you also have an
option to add this app to a site from here.
6) Usage
Analytics - This is very handy for
an administrator, especially when they want to know the traffic, they want to
know how many visitors are there and using the site, what the number of visits
are on a daily basis or on a weekly basis. So they get the entire trend here,
and they also get to see what all the device types operating systems, and
browsers are that are being used to access this particular portal site.
These were the key features of the Fiori configuration
cockpit.
