Custom Top-Level Tabs

You can add custom top-level tabs to Informatica Data Director.

You can add a tab to display an external link in an iFrame. You cannot use websites such as Google and Facebook with iFrame because of the privacy policy of the websites. Ensure that the external link is for a website that is compatible with iFrames.

The following example code sample adds a Bing search page:

http://www.bing.com/search?q=bddUserName&hl=en

<bddApplication …>
    …
    <uiExtensions logicalOrsGroupName="CMX_ORS"> 
      <topLevelTab name="custom_bing_tab" displayName="Bing Search">
        <externalLink name="bing_username" type="IFRAME" url="http://www.bing.com/search"
            displayName="Bing search">
          <param name="q" bddParamName="USERNAME"/>
          <param name="hl" staticValue="en"/>
        </externalLink>
      </topLevelTab> 
      …
    </uiExtensions>
    …
  </bddApplication>
