Grayed out below OOTB four action buttons when WTPart type object NOT having "Resulting Change Exists" indicator.

OOTB Action buttons to be grayed out :

1)Check Out

2)Check Out and Edit

3)Edit

4)Edit Common Attributes.

 

Which is best way to Grayed out OOTB action buttons:

1)Filters

2)Validators

Hi @V_THAKARE 

You asked for a custom function that disables the actions from menu if the object is not part of a change result table.

Understand.

So you ask for Filter or Validator, It is a same thing

Validator is a class where code is written and filter is a xml parameter in the customAction.xml file that points to the validator class

ps the com.ptc.core.ui.validation.DefaultSimpleValidationFilter is extendable class that can be used. 

 

so your requirement is doable with validator/filter.

The actions available on an object should be based on ACL's and a user's role in a team and the lifecycle state of the objects

 

If the object is not resulting from a change, and is in a final state (ex released)... then only Change Admin II or an org/site admin would see those.

But I want to add some other users/groups apart from Change Admin II or an org/site admin.

What is your opinion.

    PetrH,

    Let me try extendable class (DefaultSimpleValidationFilter).

     

    Thank you for your support.

    Hi PetrH,

     

    Can I use API isHasResultingChange(): boolean for WTPart to check state of object?

     

    Do you have any sample code for this, so that I can get some idea.
