INI settings that are used by eManifest

The TTS50.ini file contains the global settings that control how TMWSuite operates. You must set up this file for your company’s way of doing business. General information about the INI settings can be found in the TMWSuite System Administration Guide.

Brackets enclose all the section headings in your TTS50. Each setting must remain in its section. The TTS50 is not alphabetical - you must use your text editor’s Find tool to locate a setting or section.

In each section, settings are listed in alphabetical order. Clicking on a setting displays it in a new browser tab.

[Misc]ShowResetLayoutForNonSA

Applies to

TMWSuite Add-ins, CRM Right, Fuel Dispatch, Inventory Services, TMW Back Office, TMW eManifest, TMW Operations

Description

TMW customers apply security to windows and grids by hiding some columns and fields, and by making others read-only. However, by default, any user can switch from a customized window or data grid layout back to the system default by right-clicking on the layout and selecting Reset Layout from the shortcut menu. This can be problematic because the system default has no security applied to it. As a result, users will be able to view or make entries in fields or columns that your company wants to be hidden or read-only.

You can use the ShowResetLayoutForNonSA INI setting to hide the Reset Layout menu selection for users who are not system administrators.

Options

Y (default)
Show the Reset Layout menu option for users who are not system administrators.
N
Do not show the Reset Layout menu option for users who are not system administrators.
