You must have access to the Settings.ApplicationSettings security application to access this page.

eBusiness Navigation Parameters was formerly known as PWF Parameters in the Desktop client and on the eBusiness website.

There are multiple locations within the .NET controls setup where you will need to specify a URL or property for the system to point to. These parameters are set up within the eBusiness Navigation Parameters page within the ThreeSixty Web Client or on the Select/Edit Personify Web Parameter screen on your eBusiness website. eBusiness Navigation Parameters (formerly known as PWF parameters) allow you to update the same URL address on multiple controls. You change the URL in ThreeSixty on the eBusiness Navigation Parameters page or on the Select/Edit Personify Web Parameter screen on the web, and then the system passes the value and automatically updates it on the controls.

For more information on eBusiness Navigation Parameters in the Desktop client and eBusiness website, please see Setting Up eBusiness Parameters.

To define eBusiness Navigation Parameters:

  1. From the Settings section of the left navigation menu, select Application Settings. From the Application Settings page, select eBusiness Navigation Parameters from the Application section.
    The eBusiness Navigation Parameters page displays, as shown below.
  2. Select the +New Parameter hyperlink above the grid.
    The Add eBusiness Parameter page displays, as shown below.
  3. Enter the parameter Name.
    For example, Product Detail URL. Please note that the maximum number of characters you can enter is 24.
  4. Enter the parameter Value.
    For example, http://APA.com/Store/ProductDetails.aspx.
  5. Enter the parameter Description.
    For example, this page lists the price, description, image, etc. of a specific product.
  6. If necessary, set the System Flag toggle to Yes.
    When set to Yes, the parameter value cannot be changed, because there is code that relies on the exact value or text. For example, the eBusiness parameter System Files, which uses the URL defined here to upload system resources to the web.
  7. Select Save.
    You can now navigate to your website and set a .NET control's URL parameter to this value.
