User Views management

The User Views tool (previously known as Site Customizations) enables you to customize the Control-M interface. In your organization, different users use Control-M to perform different tasks. For example, a business user usually reviews services and also uses the MFT domain, but does not use the remaining domains. In this case, you can customize the view for a business user, and have only the relevant domains and their entities visible.

You can create several User Views, and each web user sets the relevant User View in their specific user preferences options.

The User Views tool enables you to do the following:

• Domains: Select which domains are visible/not visible, and different options of each domain.
• Simplify Job properties: Define which fields a Control-M user can access when creating or editing Jobs. You can hide or show entire tabs of the Job properties pane such as Scheduling, Prerequisites, and Actions. You can also select specific options in these tabs to hide or show.
• Restrict creation of Job types: Restrict which Job types a web user can create in a Control-M Workspace. For example, if you do not want web users to modify Job definitions for Job type File Transfer, you can disable it in the User Views tool. The web user cannot create this form of Job.

There are several sample User View profiles included in Control-M. You can use the already created profiles as is, or you can edit them to suit your needs. A Full View profile is also included as a default, and you cannot edit or delete this User View.

The following procedures describe how to create, edit, duplicate, and delete a User View:

• Creating a User View
• Editing a User View
• Duplicating a User View
• Deleting a User View
