+Modifying the UI
+----------------
+
+Root Administrators can modify some aspect of the UI, like:
+
+ - Changing the keyboard names/labels (in the "Add Instance" wizard only)
+ - Changing the text and the title in the "About" dialog box
+ - Changing the Help link
+ - Changing the application title on the browser tab
+ - Hiding some columns in the Instance Metrics and Volume Metrics
tables/views
+
+This can be done by editing the file
"/usr/share/cloudstack-management/webapp/config.js" on your management
server(s).
+After the file change, you do need to clear your browser cache. Hiding columns
in Instance Metrics and Volume Metrics tables/views is only applicable to end
users - i.e. those are always visible to Root Administrators.
+
+This is the default config.js content (comments ommitted for brevity):
+
+.. code:: javascript
+
+ cloudStackOptions = {
+ aboutText: "label.app.name", // This is the text shown in the 'About' box
+ aboutTitle: "label.about.app", // This is the Application 'Title' shown
in the 'About' box
+ docTitle: "label.app.name", // This is the Application 'Title' shown on
browser tab.
+ helpURL: "http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/";, // This is the URL that
opens when users click Help
+ keyboardOptions: {
+ "us": "label.standard.us.keyboard",
+ "uk": "label.uk.keyboard",
+ "fr": "label.french.azerty.keyboard",
+ "jp": "label.japanese.keyboard",
+ "sc": "label.simplified.chinese.keyboard"
+ },
+ hiddenFields: { // Fields to be hidden only for users in the tables below
+ "metrics.instances": [], // Options - "name", "state", "ipaddress",
"zonename", "cpuused", "memused", "network", "disk"
+ "metrics.volumes": [] // Options - "name", "state", "vmname",
"sizegb", "physicalsize", "utilization", "storagetype", "storage"
+ }
+ };
+
+Example of a changed confi.js file, is given bellow, as well as the apropriate
screenshots which reflect (most of) those changes. Make sure that you are
logged in as end user account.
+
+.. code:: javascript
+
+ cloudStackOptions = {
+ aboutText: "Custom About text!", // This is the text shown in the
'About' box
+ aboutTitle: "Custom About Title!", // This is the Application 'Title'
shown in the 'About' box
+ docTitle: "MyCloud", // This is the Application 'Title' shown on browser
tab.
+ helpURL: "http://help.mycloud.com/";, // This is the URL that opens when
users click Help
+ keyboardOptions: {
+ "us": "US",
+ "uk": "UK",
+ "fr": "FR",
+ "jp": "JP",
+ "sc": "CN"
+ },
+ hiddenFields: { // Fields to be hidden only for users in the tables below
+ "metrics.instances": ["zonename"], // Options - "name", "state",
"ipaddress", "zonename", "cpuused", "memused", "network", "disk"
+ "metrics.volumes": ["utilization"] // Options - "name", "state",
"vmname", "sizegb", "physicalsize", "utilization", "storagetype", "storage"
+ }
+ };
