Before you start using Employee Portal, you must enter certain basic setup information that applies to your portal. You must start by filling in the Employee Portal Setup Card. When you fill in the Employee Portal Card, the program will make the predefined actions available to you.
When you add a Web Part to your portal page, you need to configure the Web Part by defining which data the Web Part will request from Navision. You do this in the custom property fields in the SharePoint tool pane.
The custom properties are the properties that have been created to introduce Employee Portal functionality to the Web Part. The custom property fields are the applying fields.
The custom property fields are specific for Navision and the captions for these fields need to be defined in Navision.
On the Configuration Tool Pane tab, you specify the captions for the configuration of Card, List and Header-Line Web Parts.
On the Search Tool Pane tab you specify the captions for the configuration of Search parts.
To enter this information, open the
Employee Portal Setup
Card window. Fill in the fields according to these
