Hi Everyone,

CDM-Framework is a platform that provides room for developers to build
plugins upon various different device types such as mobiles, smart devices,
etc. Therefore, it's one of the key functionalities of the process of
plugin development that we have the ability to organize certain UI blocks
such as menus, configurations, etc in groups.

Let me take the following example to better explain the requirement. Say we
have two device types being supported via the framework, namely, Mobiles
and Nest Thermostats upon which some configurations need to be done over
some UI blocks, before being able to successfully use them for device
management related functionalities. There we'd not be able to organize the
corresponding UI bits in an ad-hoc manner across various zones within the
UI as it breaks consistency and harms end-user experience. In other words,
this brings out the need to have a specific dedicated location for UI bits
used upon a certain category of functionality.

Further, the requested functionality would be somewhat analogous to what
we've already got in the existing Carbon UI framework, where there are
specific menus available to the left-hand side of the console for
configurations, tools, etc, defined through "component.xml"s of the
associated UI bundles.

This is particularly useful for people who are into plugin development, as
if this is available, they can simply configure their UI blocks to
automatically get deployed into the required zones in the end-user UI,
without having to manually go and add pages, and other UI bits, themselves.

@Ruichira/Manu/ES team, Do we already have this functionality or some good
workaround as part of the Unified UI framework?

Cheers,
Prabath
