Dependencies

- CommunityCommons, which you want/should-have anyway;

- Atlas_Core, for some layouts;

- Module OQL for the Object-count and datagathering for some graphs and OQL is fun to have anyway.

Installation

The quick&easy installation:

- Install this module

- Add Snip_SystemManagement_Overview to a page of your choice

- Add the module roles Administrator, User and Anonymous to your project roles.

That’s all you need to do. If you want more fine-tuning:

1) Pick and choose the snippets in folder "_Use me" and place them on pages of your choice. Each snippet enables your to view and or maintain one or several of the system-modules entities.

2) Replace the systemManagement Popup-layout by your own, to give this modules popup-pages your app’s look and feel and to have one less popup-layout to worry about:

  * Drag and drop PopupLayoutSysMan to Atlas_UI_Resources

  * Delete PopupLayoutSysMan

  * Rename your project's standard layout to PopupLayoutSysMan and rename your layout back to its original value.

  NB. if you later reinstall SystemManagement module, you will have to perform this step again.

Configuration

Modify your page-template (Atlas_Top for instance). First add a column to the right and add these two snippets

- SystemManagement.Snip_Login_AtlasTopBarAddon

- SystemManagement.Snip_ShowActiveSMIndicator

Then under the menu bar add SystemManagement.Snip_ShowActiveSM
