Adding Links in the Shortcuts Area

The following procedure explains how to add a link, such as Weekly Usage Reports, next to the Usage Reports option (Reports section) in the shortcuts area of the Server Administrator control panel.

To add a custom link in the shortcuts area:

  1. Log in to the Parallels Pro Control Panel server as the root user.
  2. Verify that the resource /static/xml/isp.dashboard.xml exists.

    /usr/bin/ensim/GUIResourceList --role <role> --user <username> --url /static/xml/isp.dashboard.xml --skin <skin_name>

  3. Download the resource.

    /usr/bin/ensim/GUIResourceDownload --role <role> --user <username> --url /static/xml/isp.dashboard.xml --skin <skin_name> > /tmp/isp.dashboard.xml

  4. Make the required changes to the file /tmp/isp.dashboard.xml, and save your changes. For example, to add a link Weekly Usage Reports, next to the Usage Reports option (Reports section), insert the Weekly Usage Reports XML snippet as shown in the shortcut area links illustration (Adding Links in the Shorcuts Area section).
  5. Upload the resource to the Parallels Pro server.

    /usr/bin/ensim/GUIResourceCustomize --role <role> --user <username> --url /static/xml/isp.dashboard.xml --skin <skin_name>--uri /tmp/isp.dashboard.xml

    The resource is customized. To verify the result, log in to the Server Administrator control panel and refresh the Web page.

    If you want to revert your changes, type the following command.

    /usr/bin/ensim/GUIResourceRevert --role <role> --user <username> --url /static/xml/isp.dashboard.xml --skin <skin_name>
