Issue/Introduction

A new object has been created in the users Service Desk Manager environment using the following documentation as a guide:

How to Modify Schema Using Web Screen Painter

Administrators wish to limit the ability to create these new objects

Environment

All versions of CA Service Desk Manager

Resolution

To achieve this, we will need to update the NX_ROOT\site\mods\www\htmpl\web\<FORMGROUP>\list_<zCUSTOMOBJECTNAME>.htmpl file

Look for a line that references your custom object similar to:

<PDM_MACRO name=sfStart factory="zCUSTOMOBJECTNAME">

A property called "create" can be configured to prevent the "Create New" button from appearing in the list form of the custom object.

It will look like:

<PDM_MACRO name=sfStart  create=false factory="zCUSTOMOBJECTNAME">

Once this is configured, the "Create New" button will no longer appear.
