Looking for pointers on below:

I have a included a custom check box field in the service request ticket. When someone clicks on the close button ( to close the service request) I want to check whether the check box is checked and it is not checked it should pop-up a message to the user.

Did you mean to target your category to "Test.Calendar" instead of the "Test.EmailEscalation" class that you supplied in your post?

Is the details pane hidden for views on "Test.Calendar"?

Dear Neil Lydick,

I have a class and a category:

<ClassType ID="Test.EmailEscalation" Accessibility="Public" Abstract="false"

Base="System!System.Entity" Hosted="false" Singleton="false" Extension="false">

<Property ID="EmailEscalationId" Type="guid" AutoIncrement="false" Key="true"

CaseSensitive="false" MaxLength="256" MinLength="0" Required="true" />

<Property ID="Name" Type="string" AutoIncrement="false" Key="false"

CaseSensitive="false" MaxLength="256" MinLength="0" Required="true" />

</ClassType>

<Category ID="Test.Calendar.HideDetailsPane" Target="Test.Calendar"

Value="Administration!Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.UI.Administration.Enumeration.HideDetailsPane"/>

I can successfully import the management pack into service manager however, the detail pane is still visible.

Thanks.

Below are 2 cases that you might be encountering. Let me know if these are not related to your problem.

- Neil

====

Case 1: Extension tab is not hidden in DCM form (but IS hidden in normal Incident Form) after importing the MP above

Since the DCM Incident Form is defined in a separate <Form> element, you need to add a Category like

to the "hidetest" MP defined in the post above.

====

Case 2: Extension tab is not hidden on incident form that was customized using the Authoring Tool

If you've used the Service Manager Authoring Tool to customize the incident form, you'll be importing an MP with a Form element that looks something like this:

...

<Forms>

</ReorderStackPanel>

</Customization>

</Form>

</Forms>

</Presentation>

...

Currently, we do not examine the "BaseForm" attribute to see if a Form's BaseForm or any of its parents are targeted by a Category with the HideExtensionTab Enum value. To hide the extension tab on the customized form, you'll need to add a category that targets the customized form directly. This can be done in the customized MP.

(Example for customized form above):

Dear Neil Lydick ,

We are extending the incident class, as a result, the extention tab automatically shows. We try to hide it by following strictly your instruction above by adding a Category tab with ID, Target and Enumeration value. We can successfully import the management pack into service manager. However, the extention tab is not invisible. Do we need to add any further details? Please help to ping us soon.

Thanks

Hi Neil,

I'm extending the incident class. I have followed your instruction strictly on how to hide the extention tab by adding Category ID, Target and Value as Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.ServiceManager.UI.Administration.Enumeration.HideExtensionTab. I can successfully import the management pack into service manager however, the extention tab is still visible. Would you please help what do I need further to hide the extention tab once I have extended a class.

Thanks
