Creating a custom Coach View

You need a custom Coach View if you want to use custom icons and custom CSS files in an MDM Tree.

About this task

Important: As of version 11.4.0.3, the MDM Tree coach view is deprecated. Use the MDM Hierarchy services and coach view instead.

Procedure

  1. Bundle the custom CSS files and icons into a ZIP archive. Ensure that the relative URL for the background image resolves correctly.
  2. Upload the ZIP archive to IBM® Business Process Manager as a server file.
  3. Create a custom Coach View. The MDM Tree Coach View is read-only. You need a custom Coach View to use the custom icons and custom CSS files.
    1. Drag and drop an MDM Tree Coach View onto the custom Coach View.
    2. In the Properties window, select the Configuration table and create the configuration parameters. These parameters must be identical to the parameter on the MDM Tree Coach View: rootNode, service, restContext, iconClasses, persist. You can see these parameters when you drag and drop the MDM Tree Coach View onto the custom Coach View.
    3. Configure the configuration parameters in the MDM Tree Coach View to point to the configuration parameters that you defined.
  4. On the Behavior tab of the custom Coach View, add the CSS file from the server ZIP archive into the Included Scripts folder.
  5. Configure iconClasses on the custom Coach View.
  6. Save the custom Coach View.
  7. Use the custom Coach View in your process applications instead of the MDM Tree Coach View.
