To create a new category in the left-hand navigation area of the Launchpad, use menu items with the Menu category item type. The items are shown with their display text.
-
To group together tasks in the main area of the Launchpad, use menu items with the Task category item type. The items are shown with their display text.
-
For individual Launchpad tasks, use menu items with the Task, Fixed menu item, or Data-dependent menu item item types. The items are shown with their display text and description.
-
Specify the order for displaying the menu items.
-
To display the task status, enter an overlay icon definition on the menu item in VB.net syntax. Use the NavigationNodeState class.
Syntax:
public NavigationNodeState(string state, string imageUidOrName, string description)
public NavigationNodeState(string state, string imageUidOrName, string description, bool enabled, bool visible, int count)
Table 57: NavigationNodeState script parameters Parameter
Description
State
Status returned, such as Info, Ok, Error, Warning.
ImageUidOrName
UID or name of the icon to be displayed.
description
Text displayed as tooltip.
enabled
Specifies whether the start button for the action is set.
visible
Specifies whether to display the task.
count
Number of affected objects.
Calling example:
Value = New NavigationNodeState("Ok", "QBM-33228392E9863141A9306B38ADF3D502", #LD("Project is completed.")#)
Value = New NavigationNodeState("Error", "QBM-a486f0eabf674392bbbdf8572453258c", #LD("Project is not completed.")#)
-
You can use the condition to specify whether the task is only available for a direct database connection or a connection over an application server. To do this, use the variable SessionType.
Condition examples:
Direct database connection only: '%SessionType%' = 'Direct'
Connect with the application server only: '%SessionType%' = 'AppServer'
If no condition is defined, the task is always available.
-
If an action is going to be run from a task, link a Launchpad action to the menu item.
This displays the Start button for the task. The Launchpad action's description is displayed in the button's tooltip.
-
If some actions in the Launchpad should not be made available to all users, you can manage the permissions by assigning Launchpad actions to program functions (QBMLaunchActionHasFeature table). Only tasks containing actions that the user's program function permissions permit him to run are shown in the Launchpad.
For more information about managing permissions and running Launchpad actions using program functions, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
