Adding Images to an Object's Category List

Many objects include an Images category in the navigation pane, or as a tab for another category. If an object does not already have an Images category, you can add it.

  1. Start an MQL session. For more information, see Running MQL.
  2. To set the context for the MQL session, run this command:

    set context user creator;

  3. To check if the Images category is already included, print the details of the object type's categories menu (also referred to as the category list or tree menu). The naming convention is type_<TYPE NAME>. For example, the menu for Issues is named type_Issue. 

    print menu <OBJECT TREE MENU>;

    For example: 

    print menu type_Issue;

    Make sure that the APPImageManager command is not already used in the menu.

  4. To add the APPImageManager command to the type's menu, run this command: 

    modify menu <Menu Name> add command APPImageManager;

    For a list of properties the system administrator can set to manage object images, see Image Properties.
