What does this table do?
The sup_uiMenuComponentCustomization table lets you control which options appear in the configurator's side panel tabs, and in what order. Examples of what you can do:
Move Frame Spacing from the Style tab into the Materials tab
Move Frame Spacing into the Doors & Windows tab
Reorder options within a tab (e.g. put Roof Pitch before Roofing)
Remove the default options from a tab and define a completely custom layout
The most important concept — two separate layers
Every configurator menu has two completely separate layers of content. This table only controls one of them.
Layer | What it is | Can this table move it? |
Platform content | Always-present options built into the menu by Boost (e.g. the Siding picker in Materials, the Width/Length/Height inputs in Size, the Color pickers in Colors, the wall editor in Doors & Windows) | ❌ No — always shown, cannot be moved or removed |
Configurable options | Options that can be placed, moved, or reordered across tabs — like Frame Spacing, Roof Pitch, Roof Overhang, Wind Bracing, etc. | ✅ Yes — this is what the table controls |
⚠️ This table cannot move platform content. For example, the Siding panel picker will always appear in the Materials tab regardless of anything in this table. You can add other options around it, but you cannot remove it or move it to a different tab.
What's always in each tab (platform content)
The following content is hardcoded into each menu by Boost. It cannot be affected by this table:
Tab | Always present (platform content) |
Style | Style icon picker and style group selector |
Size | Width, Length, and Eave Height inputs |
Materials | Side Wall Siding Panels picker, Gauge, Engineer Certified, and Snow Load selectors |
Colors | All color group pickers |
Doors & Windows | Wall editor and building layouts |
Interior | Insulation, Interior Wall, Interior Roof, and Loft selectors |
Sections Properties | Fully Enclosed / Fully Open / Gable Ends / Custom wall shortcuts, tack room button, storage button, and lean section grid |
What options can you move — and where can they go?
The options you can control with this table are called configurable options. Each platform (carports and sheds) has its own list. An option can be placed in any of the tabs listed for that platform.
⚠️ Key names must match exactly. Two common mistakes: the truss type selector key is trusses (not truss), and the trim selector key is trim-package (not trim). Using the wrong spelling causes the row to be silently ignored with no error.
Carports — configurable options you can place and move
These 18 options can be placed in any carport tab listed in the next section:
Option key | What it is |
| Installation surface selector |
| Roofing material |
| Roof pitch selector |
| Roof snoop |
| Bracket style |
| Frame and truss spacing options (both live here) |
| Roof overhang |
| Rain gutter |
| Truss type/style selector (e.g. sunburst, triple wide, commercial) — not truss spacing. ⚠️ Key is |
| Leg style |
| Leg footprint |
| Ceiling |
| Panel gauge |
| Brace |
| Roof extension |
| Trim package. ⚠️ Key is |
| Wind bracing |
| J-trim |
⚠️ Any option key not in this list will be silently ignored — no error message, it simply won't appear.
Carports — which tabs can receive configurable options
You can place any of the 18 carport options above into any of these tabs:
Style — default tab for most of the 18 options. This is where they appear unless you move them.
Size — appears after the platform Width/Length/Height inputs
Materials — appears after the platform Siding/Gauge/Snow Load pickers
Doors & Windows — appears after the platform wall editor
Colors — appears after the platform color pickers
Interior — appears after the platform interior pickers
Sections Properties — default tab for
wind-bracingandj-trim
Sheds — configurable options you can place and move
These 23 options can be placed in any shed tab listed in the next section:
Option key | What it is |
| Installation surface |
| Siding group selector |
| Siding picker |
| Trim package. ⚠️ Key is |
| Porch option |
| Porch depth |
| Porch length |
| Porch sidewall depth |
| Porch railing |
| Wall height (sidewall height) |
| Roofing material |
| Roof pitch |
| Roof snoop |
| Bracket style |
| Roof overhang |
| Rain gutter |
| Ceiling |
| Roof extension |
| Base option |
| Skylight (default: Doors & Windows tab) |
| Insulation (default: Interior tab) |
| Flooring — always shown in the Flooring tab; cannot be repositioned |
| Floor joist — always shown in the Flooring tab; cannot be repositioned |
⚠️ Any option key not in this list will be silently ignored — no error message, it simply won't appear.
Sheds — which tabs can receive configurable options
Style — default tab for most shed options
Size — appears after the platform Width/Length/Height inputs
Doors & Windows — default tab for
skylightColors — appears after the platform color pickers
Interior — default tab for
insulation

Tabs with default configurable options
Most tabs start with no default configurable options — you place everything manually. The following tabs come pre-populated with default options that you can reorder, remove (using doNotAddDefaultComponents), or add to:
Tab | Platform | Default configurable options |
Style | Carports | All 16 carport option keys (installation-surface, roofing, roof-pitch, roof-snoop, bracket, frame-spacing, roof-overhang, rain-gutter, trusses, leg, leg-footprint, ceiling, panel-gauge, brace, roof-extension, trim-package) |
Style | Sheds | All 19 shed style keys (installation-surface, siding-group, siding, trim-package, porch, porch-depth, porch-length, porch-sidewall-depth, porch-railing, sidewall-height, roofing, roof-pitch, roof-snoop, bracket, roof-overhang, rain-gutter, ceiling, roof-extension, base) |
Sections Properties | Carports |
|
Doors & Windows | Sheds |
|
Interior | Sheds |
|
All other tabs (Size, Materials, Colors, Doors & Windows for carports, Interior for carports, etc.) have no default configurable options. They show only platform content unless you explicitly add options via this table.
When to suppress defaults (doNotAddDefaultComponents)
Setting doNotAddDefaultComponents = 1 on a row tells Boost: "Don't show the default options for this tab — only show what I've explicitly defined."
When this setting matters: Only on tabs that have default configurable options (see table above — Style, Sections Properties for carports; Style, Doors & Windows, Interior for sheds). Using it on any other tab has no effect because there are no defaults to suppress.
What it does NOT affect: Platform content (siding picker, size inputs, color pickers, wall editor, etc.) is always shown regardless of this setting. doNotAddDefaultComponents only suppresses configurable options, not platform content.
⚠️ Important: If any row for a tab has this set to 1, it suppresses defaults for the entire tab — not just that one row. Do not mix 0 and 1 on rows targeting the same tab.
How ordering works (priorComponent)
The order column you may see on existing rows is completely ignored in Boost. Ordering is controlled entirely by the priorComponent column, which works like a linked list:
priorComponentis blank or null → this option goes first in the tabpriorComponent: "roof-pitch"→ this option goes immediately after roof-pitchOnly one row per tab should have a blank/null
priorComponent. Multiple blank entries cause unpredictable ordering.If the referenced component doesn't appear in the resolved list, the option is added at the end.
Common scenarios
"I want to move Frame Spacing into the Materials tab"
Add a row: component = frame-spacing, menu = material, priorComponent = null (or after another option already in Materials), doNotAddDefaultComponents = 0.
Frame Spacing will appear below the always-present Siding / Gauge / Snow Load pickers. Note: frame-spacing renders both frame spacing and truss spacing options in a single block.
"I want to move Frame Spacing into the Doors & Windows tab"
Add a row: component = frame-spacing, menu = doors-windows, priorComponent = null, doNotAddDefaultComponents = 0.
Frame Spacing will appear below the always-present wall editor.
"I want complete control over what appears in the Style tab"
Add one row per option you want to show, each with doNotAddDefaultComponents = 1. The first option should have priorComponent = null. Each subsequent option's priorComponent points to the one before it.
⚠️ All rows for that tab must have doNotAddDefaultComponents = 1 — if even one row has 0, defaults are still suppressed for the whole tab.
"An option isn't showing up even though I added a row"
Check these in order:
Is the
componentkey spelled exactly as listed in the valid key table above? Common mistakes:trussinstead oftrusses,triminstead oftrim-package. Wrong spellings are silently ignored with no error.Is the
menuvalue a valid target tab for this platform? (Targeting an unsupported tab is also silently ignored.)Is the
priorComponentvalue pointing to an option that will actually be in that tab's resolved list?Are all rows for this tab consistent on
doNotAddDefaultComponents?If the option is
trusses— is it being placed in Style or Doors & Windows? Placing it in Materials, Size, Colors, or Interior will cause it to render without the section context it needs.Does the supplier have other enabled rows for this same component pointing to a different tab? That row would move the component there instead. Disabled rows are excluded and won't interfere.
Note: if the option you're looking for is platform content (e.g. the Siding picker, size inputs, color pickers), it cannot be moved via this table at all — it's hardcoded.
Quick checklist before saving rows
✅
componentkey is spelled exactly right —trusses(nottruss),trim-package(nottrim)✅
menuis a valid target tab for this platform (notflooring-interior— useflooring)✅
priorComponentchain is correct — one null per tab, each option points to the one before it✅
doNotAddDefaultComponentsis consistent across all rows for the same tab✅ No other enabled rows exist for the same component pointing to a different tab
✅ Not relying on the
ordercolumn — it has no effect in Boost✅ If using
trusses— placing it in Style or Doors & Windows, not in Materials/Size/Colors/Interior
