I recently set up ERPNext and want to spruce up some pages. My goal is to add a custom sidebar to the Asset Dashboard. But I’m stumped on where to find the right files to edit.
I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find the HTML file I need. I’m using ERPNext version 14, and the setup was a breeze. But now I’m wondering if I can actually change these pages or if I’m stuck with the default look.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to customize ERPNext’s interface like this? If so, where should I be looking for the files to edit? I’m especially interested in changing the Asset Dashboard page.
Any tips or guidance would be super helpful. Thanks!
Customizing ERPNext’s interface, especially the Asset Dashboard, is indeed possible but requires a bit of technical know-how. As ERPNext is built on the Frappe Framework, you’ll need to work with both server-side Python and client-side JavaScript.
For the Asset Dashboard, look into the ‘erpnext/assets’ module in your installation directory. You might need to modify the ‘asset_dashboard.py’ file or create a new one in a custom app. On the frontend, you’ll likely need to tweak JavaScript and CSS files.
My suggestion would be to start by creating a custom app. This allows you to override default ERPNext behavior without altering core files. You can then add your custom sidebar through this app, ensuring your changes persist through updates.
Remember, thorough testing in a development environment is crucial before applying changes to your production system. Good luck with your customization project!
hey sophia, customizing erpnext can be tricky but its doable. for the asset dashboard, check out the ‘erpnext/assets’ folder in ur installation directory. u might need to tweak some python and javascript files.
my advice? create a custom app to override the default stuff. that way ur changes wont get messed up when u update. just remember to test everything before goin live!
