Configuring the Header

The header appears in the Dashboard command bar. It can show an image and one or more links.

For example, the header links could be URLs of external and internal applications or web sites. Each project can have only one header.

Prerequisite: You must first copy the appropriate image file into the TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio project and then select it in the editor.

You can use JPEG, GIF or PNG file formats. The image can be up to 30X95 pixels in size and is top-left aligned in the image container.

Procedure

  1. In TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio Explorer, select the folder where you want to store the header and click the Header toolbar button, in the Global Configurations drop-down list.
  2. In the New Header wizard, name the header component, and optionally, provide a description, then click Finish to exit the wizard. You see the Header editor.
  3. In the ImageURL field, browse to the project folder where the imported graphic is located and select it.
  4. In the Header Links table, do the following:
    1. Click to add a header link.
    2. In the Name column, replace the default text Link with a desired name.
    3. In the URL column, enter a URL.

      Repeat as needed to configure up to five links

      Note: You can use variables while defining URLs. For details about the supported variables, see Adding URL Links to Metric Fields and Tracking Fields.
  5. Save the resource.
