Issue/Introduction

Question:

My DSM Reporter installation shows a 'Control Panel' entry in the Tree view.

This 'Control Panel' entry appears just after the 'Report Templates' and 'Scheduled Reports'.

Can it be hidden?

Environment:

Client Automation 12.5, 12.8 and 12.9.

 

Answer:

In order to hide the 'Control Panel' entry from the DSM Reporter run the following steps:

• Open the DSM Reporter with elevation ('Run as administrator'). 
• Go to the 'Tools' menu and select 'Preferences'. 
• Click on the 'Global Settings' tab.
• Go to the 'User Interface' section and uncheck the 'Display Control Panel for Administrators (restart required)' option.

• Close the DSM Reporter and open it again.

After doing so, the 'Control Panel' should not show in the DSM Reporter anymore.
