Strategy Designer’s additional configuration is stored in its configuration JSON in the pfxExternalApp_visual_configuration_strategy_designer strategyDesigner entry in the Advanced Configuration Options. The value is a JSON object.
A default configuration (as of PSP 2.6) looks like this:

You can only specify the parameters you want to change. Others will use their default values.Values of name, label, url, and businessRoleare needed for Unity in order to display Strategy Designer in the menu.
...
name – Unique name among the external applications which will be part of the URL. Make sure it is unique among all pfxExternalApp_ entries.
...
label – Text of the menu item. You can safely change this.
...
url – Points to the server where Strategy Designer is deployed.
...
businessRole – Specifies the business role that the user has to have assigned to see the menu item.
