The Persona-based UI supports the following customizations:
  • Admin UI
  • REST API
The Admin UI supports custom components in the Persona-based UI by using either Trigger scripts or custom Angular scripts.
Custom actions
This option is available in the Action drop-down list on the multi-edit page and the single-edit page. The Entry preview script allows you to create a sample view of a current item set, which can be run from the data entry screens. For example, you can write a script to view how an item displays when you use an XML format.
Custom tabs
This option allows users to add a customized tab to the single-edit page. You can show content that is related to Product information management (PIM) or any other external content on this tab.
Custom tools
This option can be used for multiple purposes, such as creating an independent UI interface, displaying external content or a third-party page, or adding an application-wide feature specific to your requirements.
