Edit Screens

Edit Screens lets domain administrators shape the navigation menu and dashboard experience shown to users in a domain. It is used to enable or disable standard menu entries and to define custom screens for different audiences.

What You Can Configure

  • custom navigation items
  • dashboard layouts
  • audience-specific screen definitions
  • visibility of standard Emakin navigation entries

Custom Navigation Items

When you add a custom navigation item, you can choose one of the following types:

  • Dashboard Panel: shows one or more dashboard panels in a grid or flow layout
  • Group: groups child navigation items and can be expandable or collapsible
  • Link: opens an internal Emakin page or an external URL

Dashboard Panel

Dashboard-panel items can use both system-defined panels and process-defined panels.

Supported layout styles:

  • Grid layout: fills available width based on rows and columns
  • Flow layout: places panels sequentially and scrolls when needed

System-defined panels include:

  • Work list counts
  • Case list
  • Work list
  • Link list
  • Process start

Process-defined dashboard screens can also be used as panels. See Dashboards for the panel catalog and configuration examples.
