Any way to disable the side-command menu in Desktop

Good afternoon,

Is there any way to disable the "side command menu" that is shown on the left hand side on M-Files Desktop (pictured).

The menu is opened when a user clicks on the toggle arrow that is in the middle of the left hand side of the screen.

A colleague was able to show me, that by creating a new document through this side menu, that he is able to get through a restriction that I have set-up through through the Metadata Card Configuration Module by creating a new document from this command menu (note: the restriction is configured and working perfectly so this is nothing to do with the set-up of the rule).

Therefore I want to close this 'loop hole' by disabling this menu in Desktop and therefore forcing users to create documents only from the create button in the top corner.

Does anyone know if it is possible to deactivate this menu menu or to at least hide the toggle from users view?

Many thanks!

Patrick

  • Adding to Craig's comments, there are add-ons which add custom commands to the task area so depending on your vault configuration and what applications you have installed users may need the task area to perform certain operations. In the long term I believe the plan is to get rid of the task area once these custom commands have found a new place in the UI.

    And for the MDCC rules, Configuring the M-Files Metadata Card has this statement echoing what Craig said:
