Configure Custom Global Toolbars
Create and configure custom toolbars to provide quick access to CSM operations for all Users or Users assigned to particular Roles.
To configure a custom Global toolbar:
- In the
CSM Administrator main window, click the
Settings category, and then click the
Edit Custom Toolbars task.
The Configure Toolbars window opens.
Note: Default is a Global default and applies for all Users/Roles unless overridden. The small green check mark indicates that a custom toolbar has been defined for a particular Role. If no defaults are defined for a Role, members of that Role see the custom toolbar for the Global default, if defined. - Click
Default (Global) or a
Role, and then click the
Edit button.
The toolbars for <Global/Role> opens.
- Click the Add button.

- Show by Default: Shows the custom toolbar in the Desktop Client by default. Otherwise, Users have to manually show it (right-click toolbar>select a toolbar to display).
- Add Action: Click this button and select the type of
Action
to add to the custom toolbar.
A CSM Item Manager opens (varies by type of Action selected in the previous step), and then select/create the CSM Item to initiate through the Action.
- Select a CSM Item (example: A specific Dashboard).
- Define properties for the Action:
- Action: Shows the name of the Action as it is recognized by CSM (example: Name of the Dashboard or Report).
- Display text: Provide the text to show on the toolbar button if Show text on button (below) is selected.
- Image button:
Click the Image button to open the Image Manager, and then select an existing image or import a new image to represent the item in the UI.

- Begin group: Shows a horizontal line before the menu item, separating it from other menu items.
- Show text on button: Shows the Display Text on the toolbar button.
- Add additional Actions to the toolbar.
