Posted on by GHM

Hi All,

I would like to inquire if is it possible to hide the buttons from on Home Page based on Location. We are trying to have a java script to get the location logic and call it in ribbon workbench however we won't be able to see the webresource. Please confirm if is it a crm limitation to hide the buttons from home page ?

Please confirm.

You can also get the country of the logged-in user using JavaScript if it is stored in the User record.

Global Hide Actions

Clearly, it is important to decide which option to use, but often the quickest and most effective way of clearing up the user interface is through 'Hide Actions'

1) Find the Tab or Button you would like to hide - some buttons may exist on more than one Ribbon - Form, Home Page and SubGrid - so make sure you have the correct one using the drop-down in the top right of the design surface.

2) Use the 'Right Click' -> 'Hide'

3) Once you have hidden an item, you will see a red strike-through:

Hiding Groups

If you want to hide an entire Group, then you simply need to hide each button within it, and the Group will not be rendered. The Ribbon Xml schema actually allows you to apply Hide Actions to groups, however I've found that this can cause JavaScript errors in the UI and so it is worth avoiding.

UnHiding a Tab or Button

Once you've hidden a Button or Tab and published and re-loaded, it will no longer appear in the Ribbon Workbench Design Surface. When you re-load the solution, you'll see a message indicating that there is a Hide Action, and the element is not visible until you delete the Hide Action and re-load the solution.

To un-hide a ribbon element, you can select the corresponding Hide Action in the Solution Elements -> Hide Actions, and use the left-click menu 'UnHide':

Custom Elements that are also hidden

If you try and hide an element that is already customised in some way (e.g. a Tab that has a custom button/group) the Ribbon Workbench will give you an message similar to the following:

Hi,

It is possible to hide those buttons. As you already know, you need to use ribbon workbench for this. The ribbon these button will appear is the homepage grid (the first ribbon which loads when you open ribbon workbench). You need to create the enable/disable rule based with the command using javascript.

Hope this helps.
