Customizing the Solution Menu
The
solution master mashup (
PTC.Base.SolutionMaster_MM) includes a menu in the navigation bar at the top left of the page. This solution menu is dynamically generated from the menu configuration settings on the manager Things for user interface building blocks. Each item in the menu is configured to launch a specific mashup from a user interface pattern building block. An example of the solution menu is the menu used by the Digital Performance Management (DPM) solution. For more information, see "Customizing the DPM Menu" in the DPM Help Center, available here:
https://www.ptc.com/en/support/help/Solutions.
To add an item to the solution menu, complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that the Master property of the mashup you want the menu item to open is set PTC.Base.SolutionMaster_MM.
2. In ThingWorx Composer, navigate to the manager Thing for a user interface building block.
3. Under Configuration, click Add on the Menu Configuration table.
4. On the MenuConfiguration window, enter the information for your menu item:
◦ menuTitleKey—Enter the name of the localization token that provides the display text for the menu item.
◦ menuItemMashupName—Enter the name of the mashup that you want the menu item to open.
◦ menuName—Enter MasterMenuNavigation.
Leave the following fields blank: menuSectionKey, submenu, and menuOrderPreference.
5. Click Add to close the MenuConfiguration window.
6. Click Save to save the changes on the manager Thing.
Repeat these steps for each item that you want to be included in your solution mashup.
