Customizing and integrating BIRT Studio : Configuring BIRT Studio : Enabling or disabling functionality : Configuring toolbar and context menu items : Configurable actions
 
Configurable actions
Table 15‑1 lists toolbar and context menu actions that you can enable or disable. Some of the actions appear in both the toolbar and context menus, and some appear in context menus only. While you can disable any of the actions defined in erni_config.xml, it does not make sense to disable all the actions. For example, disabling both the New and Open actions under file operations prevents a user from creating or opening reports.
