Navigation Tiles (Dimensions)

Dimensions navigation tiles and full application integration in the Dimensions menu are available for configuration as of application version 7.1.6. Using navigation tiles and the integrated menu support a common user interface experience for scheduling and timekeeping between applications.

Navigation tiles included from this application:

View My Schedule - Displays this application’s List View of the schedule with a Dimensions style (look and feel).
View Open Shifts - Displays vacancies (a.k.a Featured Vacancies) that employees can sign-up for.
View Pending Approvals - Displays a summary of pending requests.
View Contact Logs - Displays the number of contact logs for the user with minimal detail per log. The user cannot perform action from the tile. Navigation will direct the user to the Contact Log page of this application to retain functionality.

Navigation Tiles Requirements

SSO is a requirement for Common UI.
Apache Tomcat version 8.5.51+ is required for Common UI and context.xml file must be modified.

SSO is a requirement for Common UI. Navigation tiles and visibility preferences are configured in Dimensions.¹ Be sure to apply user system rights in both applications for proper synchronization. For example, in Dimensions each user has a profile and within the profile areas of the application are granted. In this application, each rank (job) which is also assigned to a user is given an authority with permissions granted. Authorities are dynamic and multifaceted in this application, and different authorities can enable based on rank, authority overrides, base authority, can act as role and so on. Generally, however, a person’s authority is enabled by rank.

Upgraded Tomcat 8.5.51 is provided in application version 7.1.9 or greater. Along with updated tomcat, context.xml² file must be modified to have the following element <CookieProcessor sameSiteCookies="none" /> placed between <Context> </Context>.


Updated context.xml Sample:
<Context useRelativeRedirects="false"> 
<!-- Default set of monitored resources. If one of these changes, the -->
<!-- web application will be reloaded. -->
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<WatchedResource> $    Unknown macro: {catalina.base}
/conf/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<!-- Uncomment this to disable session persistence across Tomcat restarts -->
<!--
<Manager pathname="" />
-->
<CookieProcessor sameSiteCookies="none" />
</Context>
