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.

When this attribute is set for a menu option, if a user selects multiple items and right-clicks to open the menu, the menu option will be disabled. If the hide-when-disabled attribute is also set to true for this menu option, then it will be hidden.

Note: Configuring this setting will override any default behavior.
Note: You should make these configuration changes in the Test environment and test them before copying them to the Production environment. In a dedicated SaaS deployment, after testing the changes, ask IXIASOFT Customer Support to copy the changes to the Production environment.
  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 will be applied automatically once users close and then reopen their IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop. Users can also apply the changes without restarting their CCMS Desktop by clicking IXIASOFT CCMS > Synchronize Configuration.
