Examples and Troubleshooting

Following are examples of tool boxes use for controlling access to the tools within Contenta Explorer.

Example: You want all Project Managers to be able to create Group objects in a Project under the Configuration.

  • Create a user tool box for ProjMan desktops.
  • Add the New Group creation tool to the Project object in this user tool box.
  • Enter the name of the new user tool box in the User Toolbox property sheet field in the Project Manager’s desktop.

Example: You want the Project Manager to be able to drag a CompoundDoc object to a new Project but you do not want the Project Manager to be able to create new CompoundDoc objects if they are not working in their own project.

  • Remove the New CompoundDoc creation tool from Project object in the user tool box specified in the Project Manager’s desktop property sheet User Toolbox field.
  • Add the New CompoundDoc tool to the ProjMan role tool box.

    You cannot use the ProjMan Role tool box as the User tool box for the Project Manager desktop to accomplish this configuration, you must create a separate User tool box.
