Ribbon Bar Customization

The biggest advantage of the ribbon menu is its ability to be customized to fit a user’s needs. It can be streamlined for a user or even for a specific task.

To access the customization dialog. First press the button to access the backstage

Select Options , then in the “Customize Ribbon” option section a resizable Customize Options dialog will be presented. It presents the ribbon bar structure in a tree format and allows a user to search and locate needed commands, control button visibility, add new tabs/group/buttons, and define MP-based buttons if desired.

Basic capabilities include:

Currently SA's default tabs cannot be edited or removed. Their visibility can be controlled as well as the order in which they are displayed but new buttons cannot be added to them. A New tab must be added with user defined buttons.

User needs to select a custom group in a tree and press “New Button” button. The application automatically adds a new button to a custom group and popup “Ribbon Bar Custom Button Settings” dialog where user can define the custom button properties and operation.
