1.7.9.2.2.2. menuvisibility_PARTdataManager.cfg

The menuvisibilty configuration file controls the visibility of menu items, buttons and context menu commands.

1.7.9.2.2.2.1. Specification of modes (roles)

You can create different modes. Each mode contains a specific amount of actions = UI elements.

There are two levels by default:

  • Specification of various modes

    In the block [COMMON] the different modes are defined.

    This are Beginner and Professional by default.[47]

    [COMMON]
    MODE_BEGINNER=Beginner
    MODE_PROFESSIONAL=Professional

  • Specification of actions

    Each mode (key) stated in the block [Common] requires a same-named block, which contains the desired actions.

    [MODE_BEGINNER]
    ViewPart=true
    View2D=true
    ExtrasPARTbom=true
    etc.
    
    [MODE_PROFESSIONAL]
    ViewPart=true
    View2D=true
    ExtrasPARTbom=true
    etc.

    The explanations use the terms "key name" and "action name" synonymously.

    The value range of keys is true (element visible) or false (element hidden).

    If a key is missing in the list, then the state of visibility is "false".

The selection of the desired mode happens in PARTdataManager under Extras menu -> Select mode. The default mode is stated in $CADENAS_DEFAULTUSER/partsolu.cfg -> block [TWEAKMENU] -> key "PARTdataManager_Mode" or "PARTproject_Mode". The respective menu item is displayed, if the key ModePreferences is set on true in the respective block.

If you select mode Beginner you will see a lower amount of functions (menu items, buttons, context menu commands) in the user interface.

The selected mode shows a checkmark.

With ERP integration

If ERP is available then the display of UI elements can be designed role-dependent (in addition).

In order to avoid redundant settings the declaration of the elements happens in two levels:

  • At first all needed roles are assigned to types.

    [ROLES]
    DUMMY=TYP_A
    LOC1=TYP_B
    LOC2=TYP_A
    LOC3=TYP_A
    etc.

  • In a second step the desired actions (elements) are stated in the respective [TYP_] block.

    [TYP_A]
    MODE_BEGINNER=false
    MODE_PROFESSIONAL=false
    Bugreport_Clicked=true
    din962=true
    ShowHideAvoidPartsButton=true
    prefcatalogs=true
    StartupPageClicked=true
    List view of parameters=true
    Table view of parameters=true
    etc.

    [TYP_B]
    MODE_BEGINNER=false
    MODE_PROFESSIONAL=false
    Bugreport_Clicked=true
    din962=true
    ShowHideAvoidPartsButton=true
    prefcatalogs=true
    StartupPageClicked=true
    List view of parameters=true
    Table view of parameters=true
    etc.

If there is information in two different, valid blocks, then the information is merged.

[Note] Note

By default, the "Select mode" option is only available in PARTdataManager.
