If we were creating a Role Center to be used in a real production environment, we would likely be defining a new activities page, new cues, a new or modified cue table, new FactBoxes, and so on. However, since our primary purpose here is learning, we'll take the shortcut of piggybacking on the existing role center and simply add our WDTU actions to the foundation of that existing Role Center.
There are several steps to be taken to define our WDTU Role Center ribbon using the developer tools. The steps we need to take for our WDTU actions are as follows:
- Define one or more new ribbon categories for the WDTU actions
- Create the WDTU action controls in the Action Designer
- Assign the WDTU action controls to the appropriate ribbon categories
- Finalize any look and feel items
Let's add the following functions to the WDTU portion of the Action Ribbon:
- Radio Show list page
- Playlist page
To add an action, access the page—Action Designer screen...
