Web Client

Filtering Modules and Features

 

To make parts of the Agile e6 feature set unavailable in a particular client, you can filter either an entire module or individual features assigned to a module. When you filter a module, all features assigned to it are filtered automatically.

To filter a module or feature for a client, you extend the module or feature name with a key corresponding to that client. The client keys are shown in the following table.

Client Key
Windows Client W
Web Client H
Java Client J

Use the procedure below to filter either a module or an individual feature.

What to do:

Log in to the Windows Client as a user who has sufficient access rights to modify EDBKERNEL records.

Click to open the Default Data form.

Alternatively, you can right-click in the main window and then click Open > System > Defaults.

Search for all default variables whose names begin with "E6".

Copy the record for the feature you want to filter.

In the Variable Names field of the new record, extend the feature name with a client key, using the following syntax:

 

<feature name>-{<key>}

The key extension can contain only one character. To deactivate a module or feature for multiple clients, you must insert a new record for each client. For example, to deactivate the Classification module for both the Windows Client and the Web Client, you need to insert two new records: E6-GTM-{W} and E6-GTM-{H}.

Set the Value field to "off" to deactivate the module or feature for the client specified by the key extension.

Right-click in the main window and then click Open > Application.

In the list that appears, double-click the entry for EDB-LICENSE to open the Features list.

Search for all features whose names begin with "E6".

Copy the record for the feature you want to filter.

In the Feature field of the new record, extend the feature name with a client key, using the following syntax:

 

<feature name>-{<key>}

In the Available field, deselect the check box to deactivate the feature for the client specified by the key extension.
