Disable multiple selection

You can prevent users from applying actions to multiple items in a single right-click. In the accessrights.dtd file, you add the multiselect-disabled attribute to the file and then set the multiselect-disabled attribute to true for each menu option that you want to disable.

1. In the TEXTML Administration perspective, connect to your server.
2. Locate the accessrights.dtd file in the repository's /system/conf collection.
3. Check out the file and open it for editing.
4. Locate the <method> element and add the following line to the attribute list:

   multiselect-disabled (true | false ) "false"

   For example:

   <!ELEMENT method (notify, conditionset)                               >
   <!ATTLIST method
             name CDATA #REQUIRED
             type (front-end | api | outputtype) #REQUIRED
             multiselect-disabled (true | false ) "false"                >

5. Save, close, and check in the file.
6. Locate the accessrights.xml file in the repository's /system/conf collection.
7. Check out the file and open it for editing.
8. Locate the <method> element for the menu option and set its multiselect-disabled attribute to true.
   For example, to prevent users from applying the Clone menu option to multiple files at once, set the multiselect-disabled attribute as follows:

   <method name="Clone" type="front-end"  multiselect-disabled="true"     >

9. Save, close, and check in the file.
10. Inform users of the changes.
    The changes are automatically applied once users close and then reopen their IXIA CCMS Desktop. Users can also apply the changes without restarting their CCMS Desktop by clicking IXIA CCMS > Synchronize Configuration.
