How can we hide an icon or tile on the Springboard?

More often, consultants try to hide or display icons on the Springboard or Navigator.

For example, we can play around the classic Contract icon, especially since Oracle has introduced a new one with Redwood.

To achieve that, we need to work through sandbox customization.

Classic Contract Icon

Go to → Edit Global Page Template

Create Sandbox, with Structure option

Create and Enter (Sandbox)

Go to → Configuration → Structure

Navigate to → Contract Management → Contract

Update the 'Show on Springboard' value → No

Publish the Sandbox

Click → Publish

Sign out, then sign back in, and validate the icon.

Similarly, you can play with the Navigator, EL expressions!
