Hide EXPORT context menu for user table

Bunny3 · ‎07-04-2019

Hello,

I want to hide the "Export" Option in the UI context menu for table "sys_user" and want to keep it for admin users only. I know the option of Export exists user System UI-> UI context Menu , but what condition can I put there so that it is only applied to the sys_user tbale and only the Export option is available to only admin in the user table ?

Please help

You can open Context Menu [sys_ui_context_menu] table in menu System UI > UI Context Menus, filter by Name equal to Export and open the definition of Export menu.

By default the Condition of Export menu is

!ListProperties.isRelatedList() && !ListProperties.isRefList()

I suggest you to change the condition to

!ListProperties.isRelatedList() && !ListProperties.isRefList() && (ListProperties.getTable() != "sys_user" || gs.hasRole("admin"))

You should receive results, which you need: "Export" menu will be displayed in Users table only for admins. Other tables will hold "Export" menu.

Hi Oleg,

Could you please let me know how to include three custom tables in the condition to hide Export option? Condition field has limited string length and I cannot include more than one table. Is there a way other than including in condition field?

@Oleg Hello i want to write a condition like this but my condition is too long for the condition field what shoud i do please help

@yoli1 You can create new Script Include, which contains full condition and replace the original condition (!ListProperties.isRelatedList() && !ListProperties.isRefList()) to the call of your script include method (like new MyConditionClass().myMethod(ListProperties)).

Hi @Oleg Thank you! quick question what does the condition : !ListProperties.isRelatedList() && !ListProperties.isRefList() mean i'm not sure i understand it very well Thanks!

Hi @yoli1

The methods of ListProperties are not documented, but one can easy guess the meaning or to find some non-official references like this one with the following description:

!ListProperties.isRelatedList() part of the condition prevents this action from showing on up related lists.
!ListProperties.isRefList() part of the condition prevents this action from showing up on reference list popups.
