Custom Admin Pages
You can create your custom admin pages that integrate into the chosen admin module's navigation. You build these pages just like any custom content in the system, so be sure to check out some of these resources before you start:
💡Note:
If your page fails to load, you may need to adjust the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) settings for your site to allow it to be loaded.
Finding the Page
In Unified Admin, under the Web Office module, navigate to: Administration > Manage Custom Pages.
{Client_ID}.directscale.com/#/CustomAdminPages
⚠Important
You must be logged in to the Unified Admin to access your created admin pages. For example, if you're logged directly into Corporate Admin (
{client_ID}.corpadmin.directscale.com
), your pages won't be there.

Custom Content Editor
The Custom Content Editor provides a blank space to add your HTML, JAVASCRIPT, and CSS in three separate code-aware editors (provided by the open-source project CodeMirror). The HTML/CSS/JavaScript will be delivered together when the widget/page is loaded. You can also use CSharp (C#) to call CUSTOM API logic.
Rich Text Editor
📘Note
Only available for Web Office custom pages.
The Rich Text Editor is useful for simple pages with basic styling. The interface consists of a rich text editor (provided by the open-source project TinyMCE).

❗Warning
If you’d like to use the Rich Text Editor, you need to switch to it before entering any content. The Rich Text Editor will remove certain HTML elements, such as
<script>
, which can cause a loss of markup.
