Customize Toolbar Icon for BPs

Laserfiche Ideas Version 9

Updated March 2, 2017

asked on February 5, 2014

When adding different BP's to the toolbar in the Laserfiche Client, it would be extremely useful if we could specify a custom icon for the BP. Currently if multiple BP's are added to the toolbar they all have the same icon and you have to hover over them to see which one is for what BP. By being able to specify custom icons, a user could simply know which BP each icon is for by the look of it.

Hi Blake,

It's actually already possible to change business process icons! The first option is to specify a color for the icon. When you're publishing in Workflow, you can choose which color icon you'd like your BP to have:

The next option is to work from the Client itself. When in Customize mode (right-click on a toolbar icon and choose 'Customize'), you can right-click on any icon you want to change. From there you get a little options menu:

You can manually edit an icon, choose from a selection of existing icons, or copy an image from one icon and paste it as your BP icon. You can also choose to include the icon text (in this case the BP name), to help distinguish.

Hi brett,

I am trying to get to the customize option that you have mentioned here. I get a dialog box but none of the options shown above. I am on 9.2. Is there another way to change the icon image?

Right click on the toolbar and select "Customize..." Then right click on the BP button in the toolbar to get the additional options.

I'd add that pushing BP buttons via attributes would also be very useful. Currently we export the registry keys and deploy them to the workstations via other means.

Hey Devin,

I'd recommend looking into the Client Automation Tools section of the SDK! It includes the ability to programmatically add buttons to users toolbars. In fact, there's actually sample code for doing just that.

I actually just implemented a new process internally that required the use of a custom toolbar buttons, and we used CAT to push it out to our users. Quick and easy!

Brett or anyone,

I am trying to revise the CAT sample for adding a custom button in Docviewer window to WPF. I want a map to display when I click on the custom button.

I have the buttons UI launched and clicked on the add toolbar button in UI and it adds the button to LF Client just fine. However, when I click the custom button in the docviewer window it relaunches the same Buttons UI instead of launching a new window in Docviewer to display map.

Any ideas? I have separate xaml in the same project that has a map(tested in a WPD control and it works fine).

Thanks,

Mona

We used the LF SDK to write an add-in to create a custom button that allows a user to launch a map. I do not know how to do this with webaccess because we are not using. There may be samples though in the install directory.
