I would like to know how to configure/enable a shortcut in the Designer home pag

I would like to know how to configure/enable a shortcut in the Designer home page for " Access MySQL Database " and "Access System Logs ".

Attached a snapshot to depict exactly what I am referring to .

Does this need any changes in configuration file specific to the application ? I do not see it appear by default when Appian is installed so it seems like some additional settings are to be done ? Can anyone help me on how to achieve this ?...

That's a customization available only for Appian Cloud customers. It's implementation may not be as trivial as it looks since it's integrated with phpMyAdmin and the logs in the file system, this is not something you can just activate through a property.

Thank You Eduardo. Is there any documentation in forum to guide on how to achieve this or it is done only with the help of Appian support while installing ?

Actually none of those two. Customizations fall in the scope of Appian Professional Services so if you needed help with requirements like this you can contact your account executive so he can get you in touch with Appian Professional Services Team.

Keep in mind customizing the base product is not recommended though.

Another option is to integrate phpMyAdmin (search for online documentation in Google) deployed in Apache with your MySQL instance and simply provide a link to the administrators so they can still access it, they won't have a link within Appian but at least they will still be able to use such functionality.

For the logs you could still build a custom plug-in.
