# Customizing the Web UI

## Custom menu entry

Create the file `resources/views/menu/custom.blade.php`

Example contents:
```blade
<li class="dropdown">
    <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-hover="dropdown" data-toggle="dropdown"><i class="fa fa-star fa-fw fa-lg fa-nav-icons hidden-md" aria-hidden="true"></i>
        <span class="hidden-sm">Custom Menu</span></a>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        @admin
            <li><a href="plugins/Weathermap/output/history/index.html"><i class="fa fa-film fa-fw fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"></i> Weathermap Animation</a></li>
            <li role="presentation" class="divider"></li>
            <li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-database fa-fw fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"></i> Item 1</a></li>
            <li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-smile-o fa-fw fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"></i> Item 2</a></li>
            <li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-anchor fa-fw fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"></i> Item 3</a></li>
            <li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-plug fa-fw fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"></i> Item 4</a></li>
            <li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-code-fork fa-fw fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"></i> Item 5</a></li>
            <li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-truck fa-fw fa-lg" aria-hidden="true"></i> Item 63</a></li>
        @else
            <li><a href="#">You need admin rights to see this</a></li>
        @endadmin
    </ul>
</li>
```
  
  
## Custom device menu entry

You can add custom external links in the menu on the device page.

This feature allows you to easily link applications to related systems, as shown in the example of Open-audIT.

The Links value is parsed by Laravel Blade's templating engine so you can use Device variables such as `hostname`, `sysName` and more.

`config.php:`

```php
$config['html']['device']['links'][] = ['url' => 'http://atssrv/open-audit/index/devices/{{ $device[\'sysName\'] }}', 'title' => 'Open-AudIT'];
```
