User Actions

Administrators can define custom HTTP commands and assign them to a button on a customized web page. When a user presses the button, the associated command is sent to the defined server.

T0 setup custom web page templates and integration hooks:

• Using the web page template editor, place a button on a customized web page using a button macro. The macro has the format type=”button” subtype=”log”. For further details, including parameters for assigning the button graphic and log action, refer to the XML Template Customization Manual.
• Configure the log action in the User Actions section of the Server Settings page. Enter one action per line. Each line lists one action. The defined actions appear in the callback setup’s trigger list as User_<action>. Use the Validate button to confirm the entry is found in a button macro in at least one custom XML template.
• Create a callback function for the action (User_<action>) defined in the button macro and configured in the User Actions section of the Settings page. In the callback function, specify the parameters included in the HTTP command.

See Integration Hooks for callback configuration details.

Once all pieces are configured, when the user clicks the button, the server logs the action and invokes the callback which issues the defined HTTP command.

The following layout types, available from the XML Layout Customization page, support custom-defined buttons:
