    For this intent navigation, you can use the parameter TechnicalIdentifier for the semantic object BusinessConfiguration with the action maintain.

    You can test this in the browser:

    • /ui#BusinessConfiguration-maintain navigates to the List Report of the Custom Business Configurations app
    • /ui#BusinessConfiguration-maintain?TechnicalIdentifier=ZERRORCODE### directly navigates to the maintenance view of the Business Configuration Maintenance Object ZERRORCODE###
    • /ui#BusinessConfiguration-maintain?TechnicalIdentifier=ZERRORCODE###&ErrorCode=401 directly navigates to the object page of entity 401 of BC Object ZERRORCODE###
  • Step 4

    Which semantic object can be used for intent navigation in the Custom Business Configurations app?
