Monitor Quick Actions

The monitor provides various quick actions on its interface. These are actions that are used frequently and therefore have a quick-access icon. Similar to plugins, the individual actions can be placed in various locations and in any order.

Positioning and Configuring the Actions

The actions can be positioned on the monitor in the administration area using the following parameters:

FunctionToolbar_LeftContent: BPC toolbar on the left
FunctionToolbar_RightContent: BPC toolbar on the right
ModuleHeader_Content: Module header

Syntax

An array is defined in these settings. Each array element consists either of a string corresponding to the ID of the desired action or an object that has at least one attribute id and refers to the desired action. If only a string is specified, the action is displayed with the default values for the options. If an object is specified, you can influence the action’s options using an additional attribute: config.

Actions can be specified in any order and with any frequency.

Sample configuration:

[
    {
      "id": "metadata",
      "config": {
        "showFilter": false,
        "showSorter": false
        }
    },
    "favorites",
    "search",
    "processaction",
    "export",
    "views",
    "refresh",
    {
      "id": "refresh",
      "config": {
        "switchAutoUpdate": false
        }
    },
    "plugins"
]

Output of the sample configuration:
