When creating a new UI element, you need to specify the following details:

 

Display name: name of the element displayed in the administration interface (i.e. in the settings, not the final UI); can be entered either as plain text or as a localizable string in the {$mystringname$} format
Code name: name of the element used by developers in website code, it must be unique within a module
Element is custom: if false, the element is a native part of Kentico CMS; set this value to true for your custom UI elements

 

Caption: caption of the UI element displayed in the final UI; can be entered either as plain text or as a localizable string in the {$mystringname$} format
Target URL: URL of the page which is the content of the UI element; you can enter both absolute (e.g. http://www.google.com) and relative (e.g. ~/CMSModules/Content/CMSDesk/Default.aspx) URLs
Icon path: icon displayed next to element caption - applicable only for menu items; you can enter either a full relative path begining with ~ (e.g. ~/App_Themes/Default/Images/CMSModules/list.png) or a short path begining under the Images folder of the current skin (e.g. CMSModules/list.png)
