Posted on by James F.

I'm trying to hide the Export the Excel button on the ribbon menu. I already know if I disable the permission "Export to Excel" the button hides, but I would like to change the display rules.

Where in the solution I could I make a ribbon menu change to effect the system globally?

Thanks

James F.

Scott Durow has a great step by step

1. First you'll need to install the Ribbon Workbench:

ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/.../71374-1-getting-started-with-the-ribbon-workbench

2. Create a small solution that contains the entity that you want to customise

3. If you refresh the web browser and navigate to Solutions, you should see a new button for the Ribbon Workbench.

4. Open the Ribbon Workbench and then select the solution you just created.

5. Follow the tutorial at:

ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/.../102796-5-hiding-unhiding-ribbon-elements

6. You also might want to keep the button for admin users in which case you should follow:

ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/.../76681-hide-a-standard-out-of-the-box-button-based-on-a

Hopefully this will help you hide your buttons

All of theses guides appear to point at the entity level, its there a way to make the change globally instead of having to go through each entity?
