Tutorial 3: Adding Views 81
Adding a Customizer
Adding a Customizer
The last exercise introduced you to the customizer component, which is a handy way to
add a link on a parent page to another related view. When you add the customizer to a
Portlet, the link appears at the top right of the component’s area.
To add a customizer to a page:
1
Edit Host Details T3.
2
Select the Layout tab.
3
Select ( )Define Customizer.
The Customizer dialog appears.
4
Click ( ) and choose any view you wish in the View field as long as it has a
Context Input key of host.
You may want to choose the All Alarms Chart page, which is found under the
Alarms node in the Available Views dialog for the customizer.
5
Choose None from the Icon drop-down.
6
Check Show Title.
7
In the Label field, enter Customizer Test.
8
Click Set in the Customizer dialog.
9
Click Save on the bar containing the tabs to save Host Details T3.
When you view the page, the customizer link appears in the action panel as the
first item in the Actions group.
A Customizer has many useful purposes. For instance, it can be used as
• A filter—For example, an Alarm Filter for alarms tables
• A selector—For example, a Category Selector for Services pages or a Host
Selector in Hosts Table
It is not as useful for top level views with a Page designation, where it shows up in the
action panel. If you add a customizer to a Page that is not a top level view, it is visible
only if the view’s title bar is being shown by the container.
For views purposed as Dashboard or Page, alternatives to the Customizer are the two
choices in Configuration tab, Page Options: Navigation Panel Views and Page Panel
Views, by which you can add views directly to the left and right panels. These choices
appear only when the parent page is being viewed.
