1.6.8.2.1. Overview

All settings are made with standard configuration files under PARTadmin -> category Configuration files -> $CADENAS _Setup.

Which application is controlled by which file can be seen directly at the file name.

There are two types of files:

  • menustructure_<name of application>.cfg

    Example:

    menustructure_PARTdataManager.cfg
    menustructure_PARTProject.cfg

    "menustructure" configuration files define the basically structure, meaning which menus, menu items, toolbars, buttons and context menus are basically available.

    [Note]Note

    Normally, you do not need to change these settings as they are only responsible for the default structure. The visibility of user interface elements is controlled by a configuration file of the type menuvisibility<name of application>.cfg.

    Details on menustructure_<name of application>.cfg can be found at Section 1.6.8.2.2.1, “menustructure_PARTdataManager.cfg”.

  • menuvisibility<name of application>.cfg

    Example:

    menuvisibility_PARTdataManager.cfg
    menuvisibility_PARTProject.cfg

    "menuvisibility" configuration files define the visibility of UI elements.

    The file is divided into blocks which represent certain modes (Beginner [Beginner], Professional or role-dependent modes [for ERP integration]).

    [Note]Note

    With an existing ERP integration, the visibility of menus, menu items, toolbars, buttons and context menu commands depends on the selected mode AND the selected ERP role. In this respect, the ERP role acts as a filter for the selection determined under Mode.

    Each mode contains a list of keys representing single functions/UI-elements (represented in menus, toolbars or context menus).

    The key value can be true (element visible) or false (element hidden). Simply set the key value as required. If you click through the keys, the corresponding illustrations of the user interface are displayed on the right-hand side in the Documentation dialog area so that you can immediately establish the relationship between the function element and the configuration setting.

    Details on this can be found under Section 1.6.8.2.2.2, “menuvisibility_PARTdataManager.cfg”.
