Control layout mode via URL parameter and/or default config

[thejjw]

Hello,

As a system administrator/user who hosts our own ATT&CK Navigator instance, I’d like to present users an option to generate navigator url to be shared that can set layout options (show id, show name, mini, side, flat layout).

e.g. If a user wants to host iframe with navigator src url that only shows id and not name, they can use src url like:
http://localnavigator/#layerURL=http%3A%2F%2Flocalnavigator%2Flayer.json&showName=false&showID=true
or to use layout like mini:
http://localnavigator/#layerURL=http%3A%2F%2Flocalnavigator%2Flayer.json&layout=mini

I see such variables are already present as properties of viewModel.layout…but I cannot easily find a way to have them embed such properties as url or modify some config switch from host side. Is it somehow possible in current v4.3 navigator?
If not, could you consider adding such features?

Thanks.

Hi @thejjw,

This is a really interesting idea and I can definitely see how it would be helpful. It's not possible in the current application unfortunately, but I think we could add it in an upcoming release if we position it as an "override."

• New layers opened in the application would get that config by default (see also Default technique state #123)
• Existing layers opened in the application by any means would have their config replaced with any overridden config settings (e.g layout=mini)
• An additional setting, "allow changes to overridden fields" (default true) would allow the user to disable customization of fields which are overridden. So that way you could set it to the mini layout and disallow users from editing that value (at least not without changing the override settings in the query string).

@isaisabel That would fit my need perfectly. Thanks for consideration!
