Example

General Example to Remove a Function

To remove the Personalize View function on the UWL view, add personalize to the iView property Actions to Exclude from UWL .

A Business Scenario

Business case question : You have My Task iView on all the home pages which are available to internal and external users. You do not want to provide New Task function for external users. How can you hide New Task button based on users or roles, or remove New Task button from the My Task iView?

Solution : It is possible to remove the button with the UWL iView property Actions to exclude from UWL .

Create two portal roles, one for internal users, one for external users. Each role should refer to a different page with a different UWL iView instance.

For the internal role, you can just link to the standard UWL My Task iView, and the button remains in place.

For the external role, set the UWL iView property mentioned above to the value defaultGlobalWizard , uwlTaskWizard to exclude the button (which will also exclude the Create Ad Hoc Request button).

How to Turn on the Support Information Section

From the UWL iView configuration, select Yes for the parameter Display UWL Support Information .
