Adding a Subarea component in the site map

Let's take a simple scenario here to understand how we can add a new Subarea component. We realize that our Sales app users would be frequently accessing the Open Leads View inside CRM, so it would be helpful for them if we could add a Subarea for Open Leads View in the My Work Group in the Sales Area for them. To implement it, we will need to add a new Subarea inside the My Work Group of type URL. To do so, we need to click on Add in the Action bar in Sitemap Designer and add a new Subarea and drag and place it below the Activities SubArea in the My Work Group:

Here, the URL pattern for the view needs to be the following:

=/_root/homepage.aspx?etc=<entity code >&viewid=%7b<GUID value of view id>%7d"

For the etc and viewid query parameters, we need to go to the Open Leads view in CRM and click on the EMAIL A LINK| Of Current View ribbon button to get the link:

The link will have the value of etc and viewid. We will then copy the value of the etc and viewid query string parameters from the link. We can then set the properties for our new SUB AREA, shown as follows:

We will save and then publish it. After publishing, inside the Sales app the user will be able to see the new Subarea named Open Leads:

Clicking on the Open Leads Subarea will open the Open Leads view, shown as follows:
