Creating Custom Pages

System administrators can create custom pages for use on the Self Service Portal, using extensions to the dashboard page.

You must be in an on-prem system to add files to your install directory. For Clients using SaaS, contact your Account Manager when your file is ready.

Before you start

You must have access to the system directory, and the files contained within it.

1. Identify the page which is closest in features and functionality to the one you want to create.

2. Navigate to the system files within your Install directory.

3. Make a copy of the file, using, Notepad++ or another similar program. Save the file, ensuring that the extension is HTM rather than HTML.

4. Make the necessary changes to the new file and save the changes.

5. In the Self Service My Options window in ASM Core, select the My Options menu you want to contain the new page.

6. Select Custom Option in the Available Options table, and add the new page as a custom option. See Creating and Updating Options for more details.

7. Go into the Self Service Portal to ensure that the new option is visible and working as expected.

You can also browse directly to the custom options, using the URL syntax

http://<server_name>/<virtual_directory>/Core.aspx?lite&Form=Dashboard&HomePage=<filename>.

To create a custom page to take users to the online help, you could copy one of the LiteDashboard pages and rename the file.

LiteDashboard_OnlineHelp

In Self Service My Options you enter:

&Form=Dashboard&HomePage=LiteDashboard_OnlineHelp

Users could also browse directly to the link, using:

http://localhost/<test>/Core.aspx?Lite&Form=Dashboard&HomePage=LiteDashboard_OnlineHelp
