Creating Extensions to the
Summary
 Tab
Last Updated December 16, 2024

To create vSphere object views, you add portlets to the
Summary
 tab.
You can add a portlet to the
Summary
 tab of a vSphere object by using the
vsphere.core.{objectType}.summarySectionViews.html
 HTML-specific extension point.

Adding Portlets to the Summary Tab

You create portlet views at the
<namespace>.summarySectionViews.html
 extension point by using the generic
HtmlView
 component class.
Adding Portlet Views to the
Summary
 Tab
The following example creates a portlet in the
Summary
 view of a host. 
<extension id="com.vmware.samples.vspherewssdk.host.summary2">
      <extendedPoint>vsphere.core.host.summarySectionViews.html</extendedPoint>
      <object>
         <name>#{summaryView.title}</name>
         <contentSpec>
            <url>/ui/vspherewssdk/resources/host-summary.html</url>
            <dialogTitle>WSSDK Summary Sample</dialogTitle>
            <dialogSize>440,400</dialogSize>
         </contentSpec>
      </object>
   </extension>
