The Visual Collaboration User Interface for an individual item tear-off window consists of a sidebar and a discussion panel. An admin can choose to display this interface for a specific ItemType, either overall or based on Identity or classification. Note that this is independent of whether the ItemType is enabled for Secure Social.

An admin can configure this setting by doing the following:

  1. Login to Aras Innovator as an administrator.
  2. Go to Contents --> Administration --> ItemTypes.
  3. Open a secure social enabled ItemType, for example, Document ItemType for editing.

  4. Go to the Views tab.

Figure 27.

  1. The Secure Social property in the relationship grid is enabled (set to 1) by default. This means that for the Default view type for a Document Item, the visual collaboration user interface is visible to an end user.
Note
For the remaining view types, this property is disabled (set to 0) by default.

  1. Disable this property if you need to hide the visual collaboration interface for that specific view.
  2. Save, Unclaim and close the window.
