Dynamic and interconnected dropdown menus
Here is an example about create a dynamic and interconnected dropdown menus (pulldowns) in a user interface, where selecting an option in one dropdown affects the available options in another dropdown. Specifically, an example where selecting a “queue” would automatically adjust the “number of available cores” shown in another dropdown or field.

Hide hosts based in ACL
You can edit the file /opt/nisp/enginframe/2025.0-r/enginframe/plugins/vdi/lib/xml/topmenu.xml and wrap the hosts display like this:
<ef:apply-acl select="admin-only">
<ef:item-action class="ef-monitor">
<ef:name>Hosts</ef:name>
<efactions:open uri="//com.enginframe.grid/list.hosts"/>
</ef:item-action>
</ef:apply-acl>
