Customizing your workspace

Customization has always been at the core of Cortex, and with the plugin framework users can customize the appearance of their workspaces.

Admins or users with the Configure appearance settings permission can make changes to the appearance of your workspace.

Customize for your organization

Under the General settings, you can:

• Add your company’s logo

  • Cortex recommends a minimum file size of 200px x 80px to display the logo in the expanded navigation and 80px x 80px for collapsed navigation.

  • Once you upload and save your logo, it will appear in place of the Cortex logo. You can remove the logo or upload a new one from this page as well.

• Update your workspace name

• Update your workspace brand color

Customize the main sidebar links

In the Main sidebar settings, You can rearrange the links in the main nav.

Customize plugin appearance

Users with the Configure plugin appearance permission can configure where plugins appear.

Plugins in the main nav

In the Main sidebar settings, you can choose up to 5 plugins to display in the main nav. If 3 or more plugins are selected, they'll be nested under the Plugins menu in the nav. Note that plugins must have a global context to appear in the main nav.

Plugins on entity pages

In Settings > Plugins > Entity page, you can customize where plugins appear in entity pages within your workspace.

You can choose plugins to appear as tabs on entity details or team details pages, and you can choose plugins to appear in sidebar menu navigation of an entity details page.

To add a plugin as a tab on an entity page, the plugin itself should be configured to include the entity type in its context. For example, in order to select a plugin to appear in a tab on Team entity overview pages, you must include the Team entity type when registering the plugin in Cortex.

When you add to menu nav, the plugin will appear independently in the side navigation bar in addition to being nested under the Plugins tab in the side nav.

Customize plugin appearance on homepage

In Settings > Plugins > Homepage, you can choose whether to display plugins as a tab on the dev homepage. Note that plugins must have a global context to appear in the dev homepage.
