# help-with-umbracon

10/02/2023, 7:37 AMI'm trying to create a custom section and specify specific html to display like this
"sections": [
{
"alias": "referralForms",
"name": "Referral Forms",
"view": "~/App_Plugins/ReferralForms/backoffice/referralFormsAlias/list.html"
}
],
but it seems not working. Can someone help me on how to set this Up ? the expected route should be this /umbraco#/referralForms while rendering the list.html page.
Am i in the right track?

10/02/2023, 7:53 AMI already set the section to specific user group. What my concern is when clicking that section it should display the content from list.html .

"dashboards": [
{
"alias": "referralFormsDashboard",
"view": "~/App_Plugins/ReferralForms/backoffice/referralFormsAlias/list.html",
"sections": [ "referralForms" ],
"weight": -10
}
],
