D.3 Customizing the Legacy Web Console

You can quickly and easily customize the Web Console in the following ways:

Modify provided tasks

For example, you can modify the update user's properties task to include a new field that manages a proprietary setting. You can hide specific tasks you do not want Assistant Admins (AAs) to use regardless of their delegated powers. You can also publish reports generated from Directory and Resource Reporting.

Develop new tasks

For example, you can develop a new update user's properties task that meets your unique administration needs. You can replace provided tasks with custom tasks without losing built-in functionality.

Modify workflows

For example, you can modify the Web Console framework and navigation, changing how AAs step through a given task. This flexibility allows you to add, remove, or move steps to create the exact solution you require.

Deploy multiple Web Console applications

You can install and configure multiple Web Console applications. For example, you can deploy one custom Web Console application for your Houston facility and another custom Web Console application for your Atlanta facility. Each application can support a unique set of tasks that meet the specific needs of your facility. For more information, see the Deploying DRA in Unique Environments Technical Reference.
