New UI element

When creating a new UI element, you need to specify the following details:

•	Display name - the name of the element displayed in the administration interface (i.e. in the settings, not in the final UI). It can be entered either as plain text or as a localizable string in the {$mystringname$} format.

•	Code name - the name of the element used by developers in website code. It must be unique within a module.

•	Element is custom - if false, the element is a native part of Kentico CMS. Set this value to TRUE for your custom UI elements.

Menu item settings

•	Caption - the caption of the UI element displayed in the final UI. It can be entered either as plain text or as a localizable string in the {$mystringname$} format.

•	Target URL - URL of the page which is the content of the UI element. You can enter both absolute (e.g. http://www.google.com) and relative (e.g. ~/CMSModules/Content/CMSDesk/Default.aspx) URLs.

•

Icon path - the icon displayed next to the UI element caption - applicable only for menu items. You can enter either a full relative path begining with ~ (e.g. ~/App_Themes/Default/Images/CMSModules/list.png) or a short path begining under the Images folder of the current skin (e.g. CMSModules/list.png).

•	Description - the description of the UI element.

•	Size - the size of the UI element icon. Takes effect only for UI elements which are included in a ribbon-like toolbar.

Localization expressions, i.e. Localize () on this page, are described in detail in the Localization expressions topic in the Development -> Multilingual and international support section.

Detailed information about UI personalization within Kentico CMS can be found in Developer's Guide -> Development -> Membership, permissions and security -> UI personalization.
