Creating Custom Navigation Bars

You can customize the navigation bar by creating your own, with the items the most used. For example, operators would only need the Monitoring part of the navigation bar. You can also add objects to your navigation bar for quick access, objects that support this feature have an extra Add to navigation bar action.

You select your navigation bar for use in the Options dialog.

Security

A global system privilege has been introduced to allow you to restrict access to the default navigation bar in Redwood Server. Note that this new global system privilege is deactivated by default, which means that all users can access the default navigation bar. You can enable it using RedwoodScript.

Hosting Providers

When you have the Hosting Module, the role defined in the /configuration/support/roleregistry entry governs who can see the default navigation bar. Only users with the defined role can see the default navigation bar.

Procedure

Create a navigation bar

1. Navigate to "Configuration > Navigation Bars".
2. Choose New Navigation Bar from the context-menu.
3. Fill in a name and optional description and comment.
4. On the Customize tab, drag the elements you want from the default navigation bar to yours.
5. Choose Save & Close.

Issue the following code in RedwoodScript to activate this privilege:

{

    GlobalPrivilege privilege = jcsSession.getGlobalPrivilegeByName(GlobalPrivilege.PRIVILEGE_DEFAULT_NAVIGATION_BAR);
    privilege.setActivated(true);
    jcsSession.persist();

}
