<ExplorerPanel>
Section:
WMConfig
Required:
Yes
Default:
Admin (for Admin users running Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager or Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager Standalone)
Welcome (for all other instances)
Recent List
Search
Favorites
Tasks (if a Job Server is configured)
Notifications
My Projects (if Projects are enabled)
Product:
Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager, Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager
This tag must enclose the entire <ExplorerPanel> section. This section may be placed anywhere in the file within <WMConfig>, but not within any of the subsections (such as <Options> or <ClassDefs>). Copy the definition from wmconf.xml into your custom xml file to customize it.
This configuration allows you to configure the tabs available from the Workspace. The <DisplayContext> tag defines when Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager/Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager displays each tab.
ADMIN_WORKSPACE: Used to define which Workspace tabs appear only when you run Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager or Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager Standalone as an Admin user.
DEFAULT_WORKSPACE: Used to defined which Workspace tabs appear when you run any non-Standalone Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager or Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager, or Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager or Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager Standalone as a non-Admin user.
ELEMENT_CHOOSER: Used for Workspace tabs where you can select elements.
The <BusinessObjectClass> contains the full Java name of the class that implements this tab.
You should always use the <Index> tag to define the tab order. Not defining an index can cause unexpected results.
This obsoletes the <CustomTabs> tag.
Example
This example shows a configuration for the section:
<ExplorerPanel>... (copy of standard definition from wmconf.xml)
<SelectionPanel>CUSTOM_PANEL
<BusinessObjectClass>com.acme.admin.ui.CustomPanel</BusinessObjectClass>
<DisplayName>Acme</DisplayName>
<DisplayContext>DEFAULT_WORKSPACE</DisplayContext>
<Index>9.0</Index>
</SelectionPanel>
</ExplorerPanel>
This would result in the following Workspace tabs for a non-Admin user:
