Custom cockpit tiles

You can now mark Tiles and Tile Groups to be visible in the Cockpit. Tiles must be part of a tile group to be visible. Both the Tile and Tile group need the "Cockpit Tile" and "Cockpit Tile Group" settings enabled to display. Both these settings are available within the General tab, under General within each respective tool.

It is possible to still use Roles within the tile or tile group to enable access control to the cockpit tiles.

It is possible to configure the Color, Width and Height of the Tile within the Layout section.

It is possible to set an application to run on top of the tile, and to be opened when the tile is clicked. (The same as within a Launchpad)

Setting the Type of the Tile, within General → Type, to 'Application' enables you to select the application to run on top of the tile.

Using the Action tab, you can define the type of application to open when the Cockpit tile is pressed.
