Disabling TM1 Web or Contributor Features

Post by appleglaze28 »

Is there any possible way to disable certain feature in the Contributor or TM1 Web?

As a safe guard feature for the client's company...is it possible to disabling Export feature in the both Contributor & Web to prevent users from exporting data out of the web base interface and into Excel or PDF?

I'm not 100% sure about contributor but this can be done *relatively* easily in TM1Web by hacking in to the relevant .aspx that defines the export button and simply ensuring that the button doesn't display.

Haven't ever had need to do this myself but I'm sure plenty of others probably have.

[Edit] On a very quick check of wwwroot directory toolbar.css would be a good place to start ...

I'm not 100% certain with contributor either but if memory serves once you deploy the war file (a glorified zip file) the site is constructed using both xml and jsp pages. So I guess you'll need to hack them. I wouldn't recommend it mind as contributor is more of an all round application than TM1 Web. Web is much more configurable,
