    Restricting the available WorkSpace and WorkSet

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Designer
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Area: Configuration
      Subarea: WorkSpaces/WorkSets

    A number of configuration variables are available to restrict the choices available in the user interface.

    MS_CONFIGURATIONOPTS can be used to limit or hide WorkSpace and WorkSet creation functions to prevent non-standard WorkSets being created.

    Additionally _USTN_WORKSPACENAME and _USTN_WORKSETNAME variables can be set and locked to specified WorkSpace and WorkSet names.

    An example is:

    _USTN_WORKSPACENAME = My_WorkSpace
    %lock _USTN_WORKSPACENAME
    _USTN_WORKSETNAME = My_WorkSet
    %lock _USTN_WORKSETNAME

    MS_CONFIGURATIONOPTS = DisallowCreatingWorkSpace, DisallowCreatingWorkSet, DisallowSelectingWorkSpace, DisallowSelectingWorkSet

    Resulting in this UI where all WorkSpace and WorkSet options are greyed out:

    This could be used in conjunction with MS_ALWAYS_CREATE_UPF and MS_USERPREFSEED to deliver a fixed set of preferences avoiding other recent WorkSets being listed. e.g.:

    MS_ALWAYS_CREATE_UPF = 1
    MS_USERPREFSEED = $(_USTN_ORGANIZATION)seed/Seed-UserPrefs.spf  [or similar path/name]

    However this would prevent the accumulation of file history which would probably be irritating for most end users.
