Custom Navigation Bars

The navigation bar is the pane on the left that lets you choose different types of objects. In addition to the standard RunMyJobs navigation bar, you can create your own custom navigation bars for particular use cases. For example, if you are an operator and you only need access to the Monitoring section of the navigation bar, you can create a custom navigation bar that includes only that option.

Creating a Custom Navigation Bar

To create a custom navigation bar, follow these steps.

  1. In the navigation bar, navigate to Configuration > Navigation Bars. The Navigation Bars tab displays.

  2. Right-click any existing navigation bar and choose New Navigation Bar. The New Navigation Bar pop-up window displays.

  3. Choose a partition from the Partition dropdown list. For more information about partitions, see Partitions (TODO).

  4. Enter a name for the navigation bar in the Name field.

  5. Choose an option from the Owner Subject dropdown list.

  6. Click the Customize tab and follow the instructions on the screen.

  7. When you are done, click Save & Close.

Choosing a Navigation Bar

To choose a navigation bar:

  1. Click the User Settings button. The Edit User Settings pop-up window displays.

  2. In the Interface section, click the Navigation Bar dropdown list and select the navigation bar you want to use.

  3. Click Save & Close.

Note: The default navigation bar is named System_Default.

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 activate it using RedwoodScript, as follows:

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