In case of any new resource/entity creation or modify existing resource/entity we have to click "Refresh resource" button in Application Configurator -> Resource Hierarchy

 

To Enable it, override the properties in properties/customer_overrides.properties file and then restart Application Server (JBOSS/WebLogic/WebSphere) whichever you use.

#Enable Refresh Resource
yfs.yfs.uidev.refreshResources=Y

Note: In this context, resource which could be Entity/Search View/Details View/List View/API/Action button etc., which is present in Resource Hierarchy.  When there is a change happen we have to refresh so that the changes will reflect in Console screen.

Also, after REFRESH we have logout and login again from Console/RF screen.  Also, after making changes in properties we have to close the Application Configurator and open it again as a Best Practise.
