Hiding workflow-related GUI controls

If you do not intend to use workflow in your implementation of SDL Web, you can hide certain workflow-related GUI controls (specifically, the Things To Do panel in Content Manager Explorer and Experience Manager).

Procedure

  1. On your Content Manager server, navigate to the folder %TRIDION_HOME%\web\WebUI\Editors\CME\Configuration\.
  2. In this location, open CME.config for editing.
  3. At the bottom of this file, just above the </customconfiguration> closing tag, ensure the presence of an <enableworkflowinfo> element with its contents set to false.
  4. Save and close CME.config.
  5. Navigate to the folder %TRIDION_HOME%\web\WebUI\WebRoot\Configuration\.
  6. In this location, open System.config for editing.
  7. Find the server element with a version and a modification attribute, and increase the number value of modification value by one.
  8. Save and close System.config.
  9. Restart IIS.
