Defining context filters for tools and menus

You can specify the types of views in which a menu or tool is available, and which devices it can be run on, using context filters.

About this task

To define a context filter for a menu or tool, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Edit the XML file in the $NMGUI_HOME/profile/etc/tnm/menus/ directory that defines the menu or tool to which you want to apply the filter.
  2. Optional: Edit the <context> element to define the filter. Use the reference information about the XML elements and attributes available for context filters and the example provided to help you define the context filter. If the <context> element is not used, the tool or menu is available for all devices, subject to any restrictions imposed by the optional security element.
