Switching off the favorites functionality or the favorites count

As an administrator, you can switch off the whole concept of favorites from your library, or you can just toggle the display of the accumulated favorite count on/off. The latter can be done either for the whole server or for certain user groups only.

About this task

To switch off the entire functionality, use the following steps:

Procedure

Open a command line and export the active server configuration by using the export-config command; for additional information, see Executing commands on the command line.
On the command line, enter the following command:
```
config set-config-prop --name=library.favorites.enabled --value=false
```
For information on the command, see set-config-prop.

Note: To enable the feature again, run the same command but set the value to "true".
Import the configuration file back to the Spotfire database by using the import-config command.
Restart the Spotfire Server.

Switching off the favorites count

To switch off the favorites count number only, you can either disable the count in the server configuration, or, use the license feature to control which groups should have access to the counter.

About this task

To switch off the favorites count for a certain user group, clear the check box for the license feature View favorite counter (under the Spotfire Consumer license).

Procedure

Export the server configuration as described above.

On the command line, enter the following command:

config set-config-prop --name=library.favorites.count-enabled --value=false

Import the configuration file.
Restart the server.
