Hello Experts,

I have a page that has a combination text fields and list parts. For this page, we want to disable choosing of columns. I.e., we don't want users to personalize this page. Is there a way to disable the 'Choose Columns' feature for this page only? we still want to allow personalizing or choosing of columns for all other pages, but this specific one. Please help! I could use some suggestions as I had researched but didn't get any real solution. I know I can disable personalization but I don't want to disable for all ...just this specific page.

I dont think there is any quick solution except disable personalization.

or you can remove visible property of other fields to false in development environment.

Hi

In NAV you can disable entire personalization and not the specific functions of personalizaton

Now if it is specific page then you can either remove those columns from the page or set the visibility property to FALSE (As Mohana suggested)

Hi

I don't think it's possible(not 100% sure), but you can create a new page to show only the columns or list parts and assign the new page to the users to whom you don't want to disable "Choose columns" feature.

I agree with Rajasekhar Y

I would create a new page, and put there only needed fields, and assign permissions to certain users to use this page.

I think NAV Easy Security Add-on as this feature, but if it is just one page then i agree with other create a separate page for those users and remove the columns from it.

Ohhhh! I was hoping there will be a way. Ok. thank you Mohana. it was worth a try. We don't want the users to rearrange the columns. I can make some columns invisible....but with personalization enabled, they can still rearrange. :(

All the personalizations will be written to User Personalization table.

you can write code in oninsert trigger of the table to show error while inserting record for that page.

didnt try myself.
