Management Center Menu
Configuration
Introduction
In the InSpire Management Center it is possible to store your own menu items or to overwrite them. For example, CSV files or text files can be directly integrated into the Mindbreeze Management Center and edited. The authorizations are still checked according to the backend credentials.
Roles (from Spring Release 2018 HF3) or resource.json (before Spring Release 2018 HF3)
Depending on which variant is used (roles or resource.json), the documentation is differentiated as follows.
Roles
All menu items are displayed via roles if no resource.json is available. Otherwise the menu will be loaded in the usual way (see resource.json).
Attention: This feature is only available with CentOS 7.
Users can be managed in the Management Center under "Credentials". For more information, see Configuration - Backend Credentials.
Important: Every user using the Management Center must have the role "InSpire Overview User".

Expand and customize the menu using JSON Files
Directory
The adapted JSON files must be stored in the directory: /data/resources/mmc/ and correspond to the following pattern:
menu.{{menu item}}. json.overwrite
Structure
A JSON file must consist of a header part and an entries part.
- header
- Mergestragety:
- replace: The entire menu entry is replaced.
- keepbuiltin: The menu entry is extended with the entries
- Default value is "replace".
- Roles:
- Which users are allowed to see this menu item?
- Default value is all users
- Mergestragety:
- entries
- If "replace"
- id (without spaces and written in lower case; in "submenu" the ID of the parent element must be used)
- priority
- title
- icon
- href
- filepath (only if “href” is not used)
- type (only if “filepath” is used; supported types: “text”, “csv”)
- submenu (optional)
- When "keepbuiltin"
- id
- submenu
- If "replace"
Examples
Overwrite a plugin
Plugins must be overwritten in the directory with the pattern "menu.resources.plugin.{{plugin-id}}.json.overwrite”.
menu.resources.plugin.[bestbets].json.overwrite
"header": {
"mergestrategy": "keepbuiltin",
"roles": [
"InSpire Resource Administrator"
]
},
"entries": [{
"id": "searchexperience",
"submenu": [{
"priority": 35,
"id": "searchexperience",
"title": "Suggested Sites 2",
"icon": "list-alt",
"filepath": "bestbets.csv",
"type": "csv"
}]
}]
}
Overwrite Vocabulary (Search Experience)
menu.vocabulary.json.overwrite
{
"header": {
"mergestrategy": "replace",
"roles": [
"InSpire Administrator"
]
},
"entries": [{
"priority": 300,
"id": "searchexperience",
"title": "New Search Experience",
"icon": "search",
"submenu": [{
"priority": 10,
"id": "searchexperience",
"title": "Synonyms Neu",
"icon": "list-alt",
"filepath": "vocabulary/synonyms.txt",
"type": "text"
}]
}]
}
Overwrite Config
menu.config.json.overwrite
{
"header": {
"roles": [
"InSpire Administrator"
]
},
"entries": [{
"priority": 500,
"id": "configuration",
"title": "Configuration Neu",
"href": "config",
"icon": "wrench"
}]
}
Resource.json
Preparation
To customize the menu in the Mindbreeze Management Center, you need the file "resources.json", which is located under /data/resources/.
Important: During an update, this resources.json file will be overwritten to get possible updates. However, a backup of the file is created in the same directory (resources-[TIMESTAMP]).json). This file can be renamed to resources.json so that the old configuration is used.
Hint: Make a backup of the files resources.json and resource-TIMESTAMP.json first.
Configuration
The configuration is described by an excerpt of the current resources.json file:
[{
"title": "Search Experience",
"icon": "search",
"entries": [
{
"title": "Synonyms",
"icon": "list-alt",
"filepath": "synonyms.csv",
"type": "csv"
},
{
"title": "Custom Site",
"icon": "list-alt",
"url": ":8443/site/to/page",
"type": "url"
},
{
"title": "Query Boostings",
"icon": "list-alt",
"filepath": "term2documentboost.csv",
"type": "csv"
}
]
}]
To extend/create the menu as shown in the image above, a list of objects is specified in this resources.json file. An object consists of a title (here "Search Experience") and a Font-Awesome icon. Each entry is assigned "entries" with the respective subitems (see example).
Extensions
Customize Hostname for “Search Apps“
This file can be extended to adapt the host name for the subitems in "Search Apps", to adapt a port or path if necessary.
For this purpose another object is entered with the key "searchappsbaseurl".
[{
"searchappsbaseurl": "http://meine-domaine.com:12345/"
},{
"title": "Search Experience",
"icon": "search",
"entries": [
{
"title": "Synonyms",
"icon": "list-alt",
"filepath": "synonyms.csv",
"type": "csv"
},
{
"title": "Query Boostings",
"icon": "list-alt",
"filepath": "term2documentboost.csv",
"type": "csv"
},
]
}]
Tip: If the changes are not applied immediately, it can be helpful to empty the browser cache and reload the page.
Select Client Service from a dropdown menu
The Client Service to be used can be selected directly in the Management Center via the dropdown menu on the top right.
In the dropdown menu you see all your available Client Services.
All Client Service related Apps, displayed in Management Center will use the Client Service that is selected in the dropdown. When the Management Center is loaded first time the first available Client Service will be used as Client Service in use. If there is only one available Client Service it will be automatically selected as active.
There is an additional option (at the bottom of select dropdown list) to add a custom Client Service.
When you click “Add Custom Client Service URL” a modal with input form will be displayed:
The following URLs can be entered here: https://yourdomain.com/search/ (including a basepath) or but not the URL to the Insight App itself (e.g. https://yourdomain.com/apps/client).
Add the URL by clicking on “Add Client Service URL”. After that, all Insight Apps will be loaded from the new custom Client Service URL.
Hint: It is possible to add and modify only one custom Client Service URL and to remove it on page reload.
