The Author page item settings define an item to add to Workplace. You can add a new item, or modify or remove an existing item to the Author General Tools page, Author Advanced Tools page, Admin page, or the top right portion of the Workplace banner.
Enter a display name for the item.
Enter the location of the icon file to display for the item. The icon is displayed on the pages only, not on the Workplace banner. The icon must be a GIF or JPEG file (or other HTML-compatible file type). The icon file can be located on the application server (a relative path), or you can enter a web address to the file. If the icon is larger than 32x32 pixels, it is scaled to 32x32 pixels for display.
NOTE Application-supplied icons are subject to change. Make copies of any icons you add to the website as software upgrades can delete those icons.
Enter the descriptive text to display below the item name. Descriptive text is displayed on the pages only, not on the Workplace banner.
Enter the web address (URL) of the new item, such as http://www.ibm.com.
Select the page you want the item to appear on. For Workplace, items in General Tools are available to all Workplace users. Items in Advanced Tools or Admin Tools are restricted to members of specific groups, such as Application Engine Administrators.
Select Yes if the item needs to reuse the login credentials of the user (to bypass logging in again).
Select Yes to always open the item in a new window. Select No to use the existing browser window.
Select Yes to add a text link to the item in the upper right portion of the Workplace banner.
Enter the width (in pixels) of the new window used to display the item.
Enter the height (in pixels) of the new window used to display the item.
The list of assigned access roles is displayed if any roles are defined for the item.
To assign an access role and limit access to the item to specific users, click Select access roles.
