Hi Community,

 

I want to remove New Change Notice from the Actions menu. Users should not be able to see it. I want them to be able to create New Change Notice only from the task. How can I do this?

And in the tools you can find what config xml file is used for this menu

Don't forget, if you change the action config xml file, you need to reload it.

One option is just restart Windchill

or use a Tool function "Reload Action"

While not a direct solution (without customization), you can prevent them from completing one by have a business rule to require a change request:

The user would be able to see the action, open the wizard but should be preventing from saving unless its associated to a change request that does not already have a change notice attached. Its tomato TomAto but it prevents cases where people jump straight to CN and cause process issues. 

 

Since the users need ACLS to create CNs from the task, they need to be able to have rights to create the task. To remove the action, you need to modify the various actionModels.xml to remove the line

Hi @smcvr 

Try to learn how to use a Profile and you can define that the New change notice is not shown on the context prodcut/library

Try it.

It can help you because the profile just shows/hides the "new change task"  in the action menu in the folder table and on the object action menu. Not in the users task page.

Hi @HelesicPetr ,

 

I tried as you said, but it prevents me from creating a change notice from within the task. I just want it to be removed from the actions menu. Is there a way to do this without changing the xml content?

Hi @smcvr 

Unfortunately if the profile removes the new change notice action in the user task page , then there is no way to do so without customization.

Small customization is to change xml action configuration. This is not big deal. 

 

PS: Iam wrong. 

I have idea.

There is a preference, that force or hide the new change notice from the folders where you just set that Change Notice has to be connected(created) with change request.  

Set the preference preference "Change Notice without Change Request" to  No

It should solve your issue.

If you want to hide from the Folder menu option, the easiest would be to select a Role on the team context you want to hide the menu option and then unselect the action on the Configure Actions on Roles.

Other have pointed out how to use Preference.
