Although names are used to identify items in the Business Control Center, each item has an ID that’s also visible. If you want to prevent users from viewing or editing (where editing is permitted) repository IDs, change the displayID
property of the /atg/bizui/Configuration
component to false
.
The repository definition for the ID property takes precedence over this setting; even if displayID
is set to true
, if the repository definition specifies expert=true
or hidden=true
, IDs are not visible.
If the writable
attribute is set to true
in the repository definition, users can edit the IDs as well as view them (assuming displayID
is not overridden by the repository definition). However, users can edit the ID field only until they click “Apply,” which saves the asset. After that, the ID property cannot be edited.
