 Product:MicroStation

 Subarea:WorkSpaces

Background/Overview

The MS_CONFIGURATIONOPTS configuration variable is uncategorized and allows you to control the creation or selection of WorkSpaces and WorkSets from the respective drop-down lists in the main Work Page.

Here are the available options for this configuration variable:

None (Default) - if undefined, you can create WorkSpaces as well as WorkSets
DisallowCreatingWorkSpace - Disables the Create WorkSpace option in the WorkSpace drop-down
DisallowCreatingWorkSet - Disables the Create WorkSet option in the WorkSet drop-down
DisallowSelectingWorkSpace - Disables the WorkSpace selection drop-down menu
DisallowSelectingWorkSet - Disables the WorkSet selection drop-down menu

Example

Say that you are an admin of your organization and you would like to prevent your users from creating or selecting other WorkSpaces and/or WorkSets when using MicroStation.

You could define the MS_CONFIGURATIONOPTS configuration variable in a higher-tiered configuration file such as the Standards.cfg or the WorkSpaceSetup.cfg file.

You would add the following syntax into one of these .cfg files using a text editor:

MS_CONFIGURATIONOPTS = DisallowCreatingWorkSpace, DisallowCreatingWorkSet, DisallowSelectingWorkSpace, DisallowSelectingWorkSet

Note that you can use any number and combination of these available variable definitions to suit your needs.
