Changing the order of Management Center menu items
Use the Management Center menu to open any of the tools, open the Preferences dialog, access getting started information, or open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator. You can change the order of these menu options.
To rearrange the layout of the Management Center menu page:
Procedure
- Open WebSphere Commerce Developer and switch to the Enterprise Explorer view.
- In the Enterprise Explorer view, expand LOBTools > WebContent > WEB-INF > src > lzx > commerce > shell.
- Open the ApplicationMenuItems.lzx file. The wcfApplicationMenuItems class defines all the Management Center menu options.Change the order of the elements within wcfApplicationMenuItems as desired. For example, if you work mostly with Marketing, move the Marketing menu option and icon as the first menu option.
What to do next
After you complete the customization:
- Right-click LOBTools Project; then click Build OpenLaszlo Project to produce an updated ManagementCenter.swf file under the workspace_dir\LOBTools\WebContent directory. This is the default environment setting.
- Test the changes by viewing them in the Management Center, using this URL: https://hostname:8000/lobtools.
- Deploy the changes to the production environment.
