How to add your own brick

Create a custom extension to customize the XML datamodel.
You can add multiple URL bricks.

Here’s an example of a “mailto:” link:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<itop_design xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.6">
	<module_designs>
		<module_design id="itop-portal" xsi:type="portal">
