Pin-to-Sidebar of TOC Views - There has to be a way, but how?

Hi community,

in Innovator 12 Aras introduced the wonderful feature to pin often used TOC entries to the TOC sidebar. This saves a lot of time and works in general very well. 

But there is one exemption: When our ItemType doesn´t use a regular grid, but just shows a TOC View like a custom Form or HTML page. Typically inside Aras this kind of view is used for Dashboards. These kind of ItemTypes can unfortunately not be pinned.

I haven´t tested this one in newer Aras version like 14+.

Does any one know a workaround? If this one was fixed in any Aras version, I would be happy to know!

  • It´s not available yet, cause Aras has some bigger plans for the sidebar. They plan a full editor now:

    But we already have a few sidebar related hacks in this forum.

    Regarding pinning TOC-Views: In my case I had a couple of TOC views that were only relevant for a very specific group of people. So I simple "pinnend" the 3 relevant TOC views for this specific group identity to the top header. Technically it´s CUI elements that open a TOC view.

    The custom CUI variant has few advantages and extra features. User can open the same TOC view multiple times. The tab label can be overwritten by the context item to avoid confusion. And TOC views can interact which each other.

    If any of the latest releases introduced a "CUI location" for the favorites sidebar, we could use the same button elements in the sidebar already. But I haven´t checked this yet. In my version the sidebar is still code generated.

    @Aras: As you already have bigger plans for the sidebar - maybe also include the "Fast search grid on double click" feature: (Missing フォーラムの返信) Thanks!
