Customizing UI elements

You can customize a number of Agile Service Manager UI elements for your deployment, such as tooltips, link styles and icons. You can also create custom tools which users can access through a topology's context menu.

Tip: The Topology Viewer loads all UI configuration settings into memory when it opens. If you make changes to your UI configurations after opening the Topology Viewer, you must reopen it before these changes take effect.

Configuring custom tools
As an administrator or advanced user, you can create custom topology tools, which users can then access from within a topology's context menu. This functionality allows you to access properties of a selected item (such as a resource or relationship) and execute some custom functionality within the context of that item.
Defining custom icons
You can add custom icons for resources that are displayed in the Agile Service Manager UI using the Custom Icons page accessed through DASH.
Editing resource type styles
You assign existing or new custom icons to particular resource types using the Resource Types page accessed through DASH. Here you can also apply further resource type style edits, such as adding custom labels to a resource type, and changing its shape, size, border and background.
Creating custom relationship type styles
You can customize the styles and labels for specified relationship types using the Relationship Types page accessed through DASH. You can also delete existing, or create new relationship type styles.
Defining global settings
As a system administrator, you can define global settings, such as the URLs for trusted sites, the required properties for tooltips or relationship type styles, or the maximum hop numbers a user can choose in the Agile Service Manager topology viewer. You do this from the Global Settings page accessed through DASH.
