Adding custom side-tabs and custom links

Use system properties to add a custom side-tab and up to five custom links.

Global administrators can add a custom side-tab with up to seven menu items to the home page. You can also add up to five custom links. The custom links appear below the last side-tab on the left side of the administrator interface.

Add a custom side-tab

Add the custom side-tab by defining the OptionalMenuGroup system property along with OptionalMenuItem1 through OptionalMenuItem6, as needed.

  • OptionalMenuGroup – Specifies whether to display an additional custom menu grouping.
  • OptionalMenuItem1 through OptionalMenuItem6 – Specify each of the names of the custom menu items.

Add custom links

To create each custom link, set the properties CustomLink1URL through CustomLink5URL and CustomLink1Text through CustomLink5Text as needed.

  • CustomLink1URL through CustomLink5URL – Specify the full URL or path on the server to the content. The URL should refer to either a local resource already on the server or should begin with HTTP or HTTPS for a remote URL.
  • CustomLink1Text through CustomLink5Text – Specify the label to appear on the link.
