How can I customize the top bar to automatically open when the page loads?

Hey @agus12,
 
Thanks for reaching out! 
 
You can open a top nav when the app is first loaded however you cannot do this directly from a top nav app. Top nav apps are not loaded into the DOM (and therefore available to make requests to) until they are first opened. See preloadPane for more information. 

To work around this you can make this request from an app in another location using the instances API (ticket sidebar, side nav, or ideally a background app). An example of this would be having the app locations set to both top_bar and background in your manifest
 

"location": {
    "support": {
       "background": "assets/iframe.html",
       "top_bar": "assets/iframe.html"
    }

 
Because the app is configured to also be in the background location which loads immediately, you are then able to use the background app and the instances API to pop open the top nav app automatically:
 

var client = ZAFClient.init();
var topBarClientPromise = client.get('instances').then(function(instancesData) {
  var instances = instancesData.instances;
  for (var instanceGuid in instances) {
    if (instances[instanceGuid].location === 'top_bar') {
      return client.instance(instanceGuid);
    }
  }
});
topBarClientPromise.then(function(topBarClient) {
  // opens the top bar app, even if its iframe hasn't been loaded
  topBarClient.invoke('popover');
});

 
See Messaging between locations for more information. 
 
I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Hi @agus11,
 
Yes, that's definitely something that you can do. Here's a couple of links with further information on that:
