Embedding custom pages from Innovation Suite application

As the  BMC Digital Workplace  administrator, you can enable the Innovation Suite Application feature in BMC Digital Workplace  to configure and add custom pages from  BMC Helix Innovation Suite to  BMC Digital Workplace .

This feature allows your end users to view the required Innovation Suite pages in their  BMC Digital Workplace  application. For example, if you create a corresponding configuration, managers who work with both applications, are able to track the BMC Helix Innovation Suite  requests from their teams inside the  BMC Digital Workplace  application.

The following illustration shows a high-level overview of the end-to-end process of embedding custom pages from the Innovation Suite application to the  BMC Digital Workplace  application:

BMC Helix Innovation Suite  pages in  BMC Digital Workplace

After the  BMC Digital Workplace  administrator configures and saves the BMC Helix Innovation Suite  custom page in the Admin console, all end users are able to access it from the main navigation bar. If the administrator adds more than one custom page, these pages are placed one next to the other, as shown in the following illustration:

If the user navigates to the custom page, the corresponding page of  BMC Helix Innovation Suite  application is automatically loaded in place of the  BMC Digital Workplace  page.
