About the simplified user interface feature

You can simplify the user interface by customizing the layout.

The purpose of this feature is to simplify the user interface by customizing the layout both when the IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop starts up and in the various IXIASOFT CCMS perspectives, allowing you to hide the menus, options, and other interface items that users do not need.

For example, the following diagram shows the default Import dialog that is displayed when users select File > Import:
Since users will only need the import options for the CCMS, you can remove the other folders so that users only see these options, as shown below:

You can customize the following aspects of the CCMS Desktop:
  • CCMS Desktop startup elements: You can control the elements displayed when users first start up the CCMS Desktop. This includes items such as the Import menu, the Preferences menu, as well as the perspectives that are opened at startup. The startup configuration is loaded only once, when the CCMS Desktop starts up.
  • CCMS Perspectives: You can customize any CCMS perspective according to your preferences. For each perspective, you can customize the following interface elements: menus, submenus, Oxygen pop ups and action bar, panels, views, buttons, etc.
    Note: Not all features are modifiable.

The following sections describe how to customize the CCMS Desktop startup elements and perspectives.
