Use GUI attributes in a custom StyleBook

You can add GUI attributes in the parameters section of your StyleBook to make the fields intuitive when displayed on NetScaler Console.

Example. You can add a descriptive name for the parameter by using the label attribute, and add a tooltip for this parameter by using the description attribute.

name: ip label: Virtual Server IP Address description: IP address of the virtual server that represents the load balanced application. type: ipaddress required: true

Example. If you have a parameter of type object, you can define the layout by using the gui attribute. In this example, the layout is a collapsible object where fields are displayed in two columns.

name: svcg-advanced label: Advanced Application Server Settings type: object required: false gui: collapse_pane: true columns: 2

Example. Some StyleBooks on NetScaler Console are used only as building blocks for other StyleBooks. And, you might not want users to create configurations directly from these StyleBooks. Because these StyleBooks are to be used as part of other StyleBooks. Mark the StyleBook as private to ensure the StyleBook is not being used directly to create configurations in the NetScaler Console GUI.

name: basic-lb-config description: This stylebook defines a simple load balancing configuration. display-name: Load Balancing Configuration namespace: com.example.stylebooks private: true schema-version: "1.0" version: "0.1"
