Adding custom menu items to the sidebar

You can add custom menu items in the sidebar below the existing default Gallery and Recently Viewed items.

1. In the file MyConfiguration.plist, in the Property List view , find and expand the key labelled CustomMenuItems.

   The following example shows two custom menu items.

   Key			Type	Value
   CustomMenuItems			Array	(2 items)
   	Item 0		Dictionary	(4 items)
   		icon	String	string: my_menuitem_icon1_filename
   		iconSelected	String	string: my_menuitem_icon1selected_filename
   		title	String	setting: my_test_menuitem1_title
   		url	String	http://spotfire.tibco.com
   	Item 1		Dictionary	(4 items)
   		icon	String	test_menuitem_icon2.png
   		iconSelected	String	test_menuitem_icon2_active.png
   		title	String	My Test Menuitem 2
   		url	String	http://www.google.com

   Note: In the Source Code view, this section appears as follows.

   <dict>
      <key>icon</key>
      <string>string: my_menuitem_icon1_filename</string>
      <key>iconSelected</key>
      <string>string: my_menuitem_icon1selected_filename</string>
      <key>title</key>
      <string>setting: my_test_menuitem1_title</string>
      <key>url</key>
      <string>http://spotfire.tibco.com</string>
   </dict>
   <dict>
      <key>icon</key>
      <string>test_menuitem_icon2.png</string>
      <key>iconSelected</key>
      <string>test_menuitem_icon2_active.pn</string>
      <key>title</key>
      <string>My Test Menuitem 2</string>
      <key>url</key>
      <string>http://www.google.com</string>
   </dict>
   

   These entries specify the start of an array of custom menu items.
2. For each array, add custom menu item keys and values, as shown in the above sample.

   Each Dictionary block defines a custom menu item. You can add more of these blocks, one for each of the menu items you want to add to the sidebar, under the array.
