There are three settings in play here
- StaticFirstPagePath – the frontpage that you see when accessing AP from your computer
- StaticMobileFirstPage – the fronpage that you see when accessing AP from a mobile device
- StaticSidebarPath – a custom sidebar that lets you load whatever kind of data that you want to display.
In this exercise we will just add some nonsense data, but it should give you a solid ground for building something of your own. The goal today is to display running processes on the server and display them on the sidebar.
Real world example could be to display your company’s stock ticker, or maybe displaying all computers that the logged in user owns. Let’s get started
Step 1
Make a copy of the existing sidebar template file and name it to AllProcesses. You will find the file in “C:\Program Files\Snow Software\Snow Automation Platform\WebSite\StaticContent”.
Step 2
Edit the StaticSidebarPath setting like this
Step 3
Register a new powershell web service with the following codefunction GetFirstPageData
{
param()
Get-Service -name a*
}
Step 4
Edit the AllProcesses.html file. You can just copy and paste the following text into it:
<table class="table" >
<tr>
<th>DisplayName</th>
<th>CanStop</th>
<th>CanShutDown</th>
</tr>
<tbody ng-repeat="obj in PowerShellWebservice.GetFirstPageData">
<tr>
<td>{{obj.DisplayName}}</td>
<td>{{obj.CanStop}}</td>
<td>{{obj.CanShutdown}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Note:
PowerShellWebservice.GetFirstPageData – this points to the powershell webservice we just createdObj.DisplayName – this points to object properties returned from our powershell webservice
Step 5
Reload AP and see all processes running on the AP server
Final words
In this pretty simple way, AP opens up to easily display custom information. Together with the power of PowerShell Webservices in AP, the possibilities are great for adding the information important for you.
