Organizing the apps on the landing page in sections

It is possible to organize the apps on the DataMiner landing page in different sections.

DataMiner landing page in DataMiner 10.5.9

At present, it is only possible to create new sections by changing the configuration of the apps in JSON. However, you can add new apps to existing sections directly from the DataMiner landing page.

Creating a new app under an existing section

To create a new app in an existing section on the DataMiner landing page:

• From DataMiner 10.4.0 [CU18]/10.5.0 [CU6]/10.5.9 onwards:

  1. Open the tab in which you want the app to appear.

  2. In the top-right corner of the low-code apps section, click Create app.

     The app will be added to the selected section automatically.

• In previous versions:

  1. Hover over the title of the section where you want to add the app.

  2. Click the "+" icon.

     The app will be added to the selected section automatically.

Adding an app to a new section

To add a low-code app to a new section that will appear on the DataMiner landing page, follow the procedure below:

1. On the DMA, go to the app folder: C:\Skyline DataMiner\applications\[APP_ID]

   Note

   To find out which app ID corresponds with which low-code app, check the URL displayed in the browser when you open an app via the DataMiner landing page.

2. Open the file App.info.json.

3. Add the section names to the Sections array and save the file.

   For example:

   {
      "__type":"Skyline.DataMiner.Web.Common.v1.DMAApplicationVersionInfo",
      "PublicVersion":1,
      "DraftVersion":0,
      "Sections": [
         "My section 1",
         "My section 2"
      ],
      "Security":{
         "__type":"Skyline.DataMiner.Web.Common.v1.Dashboards.DMAApplicationSecurityConfig",
         "AllowView":[],
         "AllowEdit":[]
      }
   }
   
   

Note

From DataMiner 10.2.9/10.3.0 onwards, these different sections will also be displayed in the apps pane in DataMiner Cube.
