Preventing users from editing Favorites

You can prevent a user from adding to, rearranging, or removing analyses from the Favorites view.

Perform this task by editing the file MyConfiguration.plist in the copy of the DeploymentKitApp in Xcode on your computer.

Note: You can customize most settings in MyConfiguration.plist by editing key and value pairs in the Property List view in XCode. Optionally, you can edit the XML directly in the Source Code view. To work in the XML view, right click the file name, and then click Open As > Source Code.

Procedure

  1. In the file MyConfiguration.plist, in the Property List view, locate the key labelled DisableAddEditFavorites.
    Key Type Value
    DisableAddEditFavorites Boolean NO
  2. Change the value from NO to YES.
    Note: In the Source Code view, this section appears as follows.
    <key>DisableAddEditFavorites</key>
    <true/>
    Key Type Value
    DisableAddEditFavorites Boolean YES

Result

The features that allow users to add, rearrange, or remove analyses from the Favorites view of the app are not present if this key is set to YES. Setting the value to NO is equivalent to not having this key in the configuration file.
