Configure a Connector with UI customizations

The Moderne Platform provides default UI elements and help links throughout the interface. However, organizations may want to customize these elements to provide organization-specific help resources or branding.

This guide will show you how to configure the Moderne Connector to customize UI elements with your own help links and labels.

Why customize UI elements?​

Organizations may want to customize UI elements for several reasons:

  • Internal help resources: Your organization may have internal documentation or support systems
  • Custom support channels: You may want to direct users to organization-specific help desks or chat systems
  • Accessibility: The default support methods may not be accessible within your organization

The following table contains the variables/arguments needed to configure custom UI elements for your Moderne Connector. Please note that these variables/arguments must be combined with ones found in other steps in the Configuring the Moderne Connector guide.
