The menuvisibilty configuration file controls the visibility of menu items, buttons and context menu commands.
You can create different modes. Each mode contains a specific amount of actions = UI elements.
There are two levels by default:
Specification of the different modes
In the block [COMMON] the different modes are defined.
By default, these are Beginner and Professional.[47]
[COMMON] MODE_BEGINNER=Beginner MODE_PROFESSIONAL=Professional
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 desired mode is selected in PARTdataManager under Extras menu [Extras] -> Select mode. The default mode is defined in $CADENAS_DEFAULTUSER/partsolu.cfg -> Block [TWEAKMENU] -> Key "PARTdataManager_Mode" or "PARTproject_Mode". If the ModePreferences key is set to true in the relevant block, the corresponding menu item is displayed.
If you select Beginner mode, you will see a smaller number of functions (menu items, buttons, context menu commands) in the user interface.
The selected mode shows a checkmark.
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.
