CustomizationLink Property
This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.
The CustomizationLink property contains a URL for a page that makes it possible for users to customize the content of the Web Part; for example, if you are creating a Web Part that lists a number of stocks, you can offer users a way to specify which stock symbols the Web Part displays. You can do this inline in the content of the Web Part, or you can supply a URL in this property, and the dashboard view provides a way for the user to navigate to it. For example, the dashboard view might place a small Edit button on the right side of the Web Part title bar. When the user clicks the button, the view navigates to this URL, making it possible for the user to customize the content of the Web Part.
**Note **This is likely a per-user customization of content and does not affect the properties of the Web Part item in Microsoft® Exchange. In your customization pages, you might want to provide a Submit button that applies the user's changes and takes the user back to the dashboard view. You can offer this by using Microsoft® JScript® or Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) to back up one page (window.history.back method).
This URL can point to anywhere; however, typically, it points to the site that is supplying the content for the Web Part. However, it also can point to another Web Part or even the same Web Part, passing a parameter that indicates customization.
