How to add a toolbox next to "Add Data" in the workbench

[Man Duc Chuc]

Hi guys, greetings from Japan.

I am a newbie to both ReactJS and TerriaJS. I have installed TerriaJS on my local machine and it is working great.

Now I wanted to modified the workbench to include an additional tab next to the "Add Data" tab. This new tab is intended for requesting long-running processing on the server side (such as Cesium task). I attached an image of the prototype UI.

My questions are:

1. Where in the code should I look for in order to make the change?

2. Is this a proper use of TerriaJS as from what I read from the documentation, 

TerriaJS is intended for geospatial catalogue explorers only.

I really appreciate your help.

I'd like to correct my previous post.

It is Celery task, not Cesium.

I also attached a corrected image of the prototype UI.

Greetings,

For your first question, I think you probably need to modify either the "SidePanel" component or the "Workbench" component (which is a child of the former) to add your tabs. If you haven't done so already, I suggest you install React Developer Tools to chrome and use it to find the exact component you need to modify.

I'm not sure I understand your second question. Terriajs is under a very permissive license, so I imagine you can extend it in any way you want. But customizing potentially means diverting away from the well-trodden paths which can add difficulties.

Hi Yohannes Tamru,

Thank you so much for your suggestions. 

I haven't modified it yet. I will try with the React Developer Tools, it seems easier with the tool now.

For my second question, I find the underline functionality is very useful. I just want to tailor the UI to reflect the app logic the way I personally like more. 

It is great if the UI could be easily modified.

Yours sincerely,
