URL in Start Center Maximo 6

A new URL can be added to the Start Center Header Area by following the below steps:

1. Add a new Header tag in library.xml (<MaximoHome>\resources\presentations\system\library.xml)
i) Create a new header by copying and pasting the selfServicePageHeader within MAXIMO_HOME\resources\presentations\system\library.xml.
ii) Change the new header's id to any name,say, "scheader".

2. Add hyperlink tag to the new header
i) Create a new hyperlink element tag which points to the target URL
ii) The target attribute in the hyperlink tag must be full URL
iii) The hyperlink should appear before the performancelink tag.

<hyperlink id="self_ibm" label="IBM HomePage" mxevent="loadlink" classname="powerwhite" targetid="self_pageTitlebar" link="http://ibm.com" image="information.gif"/>

iv) The attribute classname = "powerwhite" is needed. Powerwhite is a class in the CSS file              <MaximoHome>\applications\maximo\maximouiweb\webmodule\webclient\css\maximo.css and it defines the style for the title bar elements.
v) An image is also needed for proper positioning within the title bar
