Hi,

Is it possible to disable/lock activity timeline or the notescontrol in the timeline?

In the UI you can set "Lock the field on the form" but it does not seem to have any effect. I have also tried to lock the section with "Lock the section on the Form" but that also has no effect.

I have tried this code to disable t notescontrol in the timeline.(Works with mot other controls) It runs without any problemes but has no effect:

function sectionDisable(formContext, name, disableStatus) {
    var controls = formContext.getControl();
    for (var i in controls) {
        if (controls[i]._controlName == name) {
            controls[i].setDisabled(disableStatus);
        }
    }
}

Hello Frode,

As far as I know there is no supported way to disable that control from the code.

Hi Frode,

You can’t disable timeline and notes control with code, but you can just assign "Read" access of Note entity from security role to disable Notes control in Timeline.

1.Go Settings > Security > Security Roles.

2.Go Settings > Security > Users to choose one user to see which security roles are assigned.

3.select these security roles and set Note entity with only ’Read’ privilege and cancel other privileges(Create, Write, Delete, Assign, Append, Assign to, Append to).

Make sure all security roles that user is assigned have set done.

4.Test

When user (Jeff Hay) login to D365 and open one record, he just read notes that created previously, and he can’t edit these notes or create new notes.

Also, you can directly hide Note control in Timeline.

1.Go Settings > Customizations > customize the system > entities > form to double-click timeline control.

2.Test

All users can’t see Notes in Timelime, they can’t create new notes and read notes that created previously.

I think you can use the security privilege to prevent users from create operation and use the below css to make the control look like disable. You might have to use tabindex="-1" prevent keyboard navigation.

pointer-events: none; opacity: 0.4;

Best Regards,
