Linking to Web resources in the UI Config tab

Use the UI Config tab to add tabs to the Build Forge UI.
You can add tabs to the Build Forge user interface by using the UI Config tab. Each new tab contains a URL. You can use the tabs to link to external resources such as information about your applications, operating systems, servers, or users.
Note: Do not create tabs that link to internal Build Forge URLs.

To add a tab, do the following:

  1. Select the UI Config tab.
  2. Click Add Tab.
  3. At Name, enter the title or name of the tab.
  4. At Link, you can enter any of the following:
    Option Usage Example
    URL with protocol
    • required if the protocol is not http
    • optional if it is http
    http://www.ibm.com
    URL without protocol uses the default http protocol www.ibm.com
  5. At Target, select one option:
    • Internal (the default): Select to open the link in the existing browser window.
    • External: Select to open the link in a new browser window.
  6. At Enabled, select one option:
    • Enabled (the default): Select to enable the tab. If enabled, a connection to the URL is attempted when you select the tab.
    • Disabled: Select to disable the tab. If disabled, the tab is hidden.
  7. At Visible, select one option:
    • True (the default): Select to show the tab in the UI.
    • False: Select to hide the tab in the UI.
  8. At Root Only, select one option:
    • True (the default): Allows only the root user or a Build Forge user with root access to select the tab and connect to the URL link.
    • False: Allows any Build Forge user to select the tab and connect to the URL link.
Note: After saving a new tab, the tab title will appear in the list. If the tab itself does not, refresh the page.
