In 6.5 HTML Web Client, Home > Shortcuts has only two categories. Other categories (Administration) can't be added?

Hi Web Client SDK team,

In 6.5 HTML5 Web Client I am seeing only two categories under Home > Shortcuts.

What about Administration section?

In our vCenter plugin we have added a shortcut icon under Administration Category. But it's not coming up now as the category is removed from shortcuts.

Note: I have added "plugin-icons.css" as dependency in plugin.xml file. The other external icons (for action Menu items) are coming up. So plugin-icons.css is not a problem.

HTML SDK - v6.5.0.10000-5972228

Web Client - v6.5.0.10000-5973321

Hi Lee,

This category is not present in the UI of the HTML Client. As a workaround please use one of the other 2 categories.

Going forward, The whole Home > Shortcuts is losing relevance so it is recommended to focus on having a single entry point for your plugin under Object Navigator on the left (it appears under Menu too). If you have multiple views the single entry point can lead to your own Object Navigator category. This capability is already possible with the current vise.navigator.nodespecs extension point (see GlobalView sample).

Cheers,

Vladi
