Ordering 'Other' Menu in Web Interface

Question

Hi

In the Management Console we have our Custom Commands in folders to make them easier to find.
How would we replicate this in the Web Console page? The Custom Commands available to the user just appear as a long list under the 'Other' menu. Of course this means the ones we use most frequently are at the bottom... At the least we would like to have this list appear in alphabetical order, we could work with this by standardising our Custom Command names, but what would be even better if the list could be the same as what we have in the Management Console and be sorted neatly in folders.

Thanks in advance :)

Hello,

In our sandbox, we have a request to organize Custom Commands in sub-menus the same as they are organized in containers. We'll consider this request when deciding on features for future releases. For now, you can do the following to improve the situation:

• Hide unnecessary Custom Commands
  If you have certain commands that cannot be executed manually and executed exclusively for Business Rules, Custom Commands and Scheduled Tasks, you can disable them. Disabled Custom Commands are not shown in the Web Interface or in the context menu for AD objects in the Administration Console, but can be executed by Business Rules, Scheduled Tasks and other Custom Commands. How to disable a Custom Command.
• Organize Custom Commads
  If you have certain Custom Commands that you use much more often than the others, you can make such commands available directly on the object view so that you can use them without the need to open the Other submenu.

I had the same thoughts as CBurn, but after all these years, still no option to subgroup custom commands, by container or other grouping in the context menu or otherwise? We have a sister company now, and it would be great to take the handful of custom commands having to do with provisioning AD accounts for them, and group them together.. Now, we will just name them starting with the company name, and then the name of the command, so they all come together under the context menu, but would have hoped there was something more on this by now since 2015. Thank you!

Hello Bruce,

Thank you for the suggestion. We forwarded it to the corresponding department for consideration. As of now, you can create a separate Web interface for the sister company users and have only the required custom commands available. At the same time, custom commands are displayed when viewing an object only if the logged on user has the required permissions.
