Customize collection toolbar per user??

Customize collection toolbar per user??

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone had any interest in reducing the number of "collector" controls in Windchill actions?   I recently had to use a tool that showed me this toolbar:

As a CAD user, I primarily need to use this set of controls:

My customization reduced the total number of icons from 32 to 8.

I realize that other users would find some of the icons that I have excluded useful (and find some that I have included not useful); but it seems unlikely that any one user needs all 32 icons.

There are no Product Idea asking for an enhancement to allow user or role based customization of the collector toolbar.   Any interest?  If not, how do you have other workarounds?

Thanks

Jennifer

Can you achieve the same result using profiles or is a customization required?

To answer your question, yes, anything we can do to reduce the extra clutter improves the user experience.

Hi Tom.

Thanks for your reply.    Many of the actions would not be shown/hidden based on roles.  That is a good idea.

If you are really interested, then would you create a Product Idea with an example of how a common UI could be simplified for one of your user roles?

Thanks

Jennifer
