Hide a custom perspective

As with all Teamcenter perspectives, you can hide a Manufacturing Process Planner perspective so that users cannot see it in the user interface using the HiddenPerspectives preference. If you create your own Manufacturing Process Planner perspective, you must perform the following steps to hide this perspective using the HiddenPerspectives preference. The example uses a new perspective called MyCustomizedPerspective.

Procedure

1. Add the following information to the org.eclipse.ui.activities extension:Copy`<activity description="Turn off MyCustomizedPerspective perspective" id="ID-of–MyCustomizedPerspective" name="MyCustomizedPerspective"

`

The ID is the value assigned in the perspective definition in the plugin.xml file. The pattern value is derived from the value of the ID in the customized perspective definition in the plugin.xml file. For example, if the customized perspective definition ID value is com.rcpcompany.demo.ui.views.History, the pattern is then .*/com.rcpcompany.demo.ui.views.History.

2. Add the perspective name (MyCustomizedPerspective in the example) to the HiddenPerspectives preference.

Results

Teamcenter hides the custom perspective in the user interface.
