Iframe Custom Tabs on Asset's
In this lesson we will cover:
- How to create a new custom tab for an Iframe
- How to apply this custom tab to an asset type
Using Iframes within custom asset tabs will allow you to view an external site/page from within your asset.
Configuring the Custom Tab
To add custom tabs to your assets you must navigate to Configuration > Custom Objects > Custom Tabs and then set the entity to Assets:
Fig 1. Setting custom tab entity
Then when you create your tab, give it a name and set the 'Type' to be 'Iframe'. In the 'URL' field enter the URL of the site you would like to embed into this tab.

Adding The Custom Tab to Your Asset Type
Navigate to Configuration > Asset Management > Asset Type and then go to the layout tab:
Fig 3. layout tab under asset type
Change the Tab Layout to "Custom"

From here you can set the visibility of the Tab by clicking on the pencil icon on the custom tab field
Fig 6. Set visibility of tab
Set the display to show and then when you go to an asset of this asset type (Laptop), you will see a new custom tab:

When creating the asset custom tab, you can add dollar variables to the URL, you may also want to iframe a report from within Halo for analysis of certain assets.
Report iframes would have the following format: https://{YOURHALODOMAIN}/report?id={REPORT ID}
It is important to note that by default "reports" will be the value used in the URL, you must change this to "report" in order for the report iframe to fill the tab screen. For more information on linking to reports, check out this guide: Report filters in the URI parameters for report links
