Editing a Role

  • Updated

In Roles, you can edit the role description, the resource root path and the default layout set related to the role. You can also add and remove resources related to the role. After you have made your changes, click Save to save them. To cancel any changes you have made, click Revert.

This article covers the following topics:

Editing a Role Description

  1. To edit the role description, click the Edit icon above the description field:

    role_edit

  2. A dialog opens. You can bold, italicize and underline the text. You can also add links or link to a view in Solibri:

    role_descr_edit

  3. When you have made the changes, click OK.

Editing Resource Root Path

The path listed in the Resource Root Path text box is the root folder for resources, and any resources associated with a role must reside in a subfolder of this path:

role_rootpath

The path can also be a shared folder on a network drive.

Notice

If you edit the default root path, you need to define the target folder structure in a profile.txt file. The file can be found in: C:\Program Files\Solibri\SOLIBRI. For further support in this matter, please contact Solibri Support.

If you need to edit the default resource path, click dots_16x16.png. A dialog opens. Select the resource folder and click Open.

Editing Role Layout Set

Each default role has a default layout set, shown in the Default Layout Set field:

role_editlayout

You can change the layout set, for example when you are creating a new role (saving an existing role with a new name). To edit the default layout set related to the role, click dots_16x16.png. A dialog opens:

role_layoutset.png

By default, layouts are saved in the Layout Sets folder. Select the layout file and click Open. 

To remove the default layout set, click remove_snapshot_16x16.png.

Editing Role Resources

You can edit the rulesets, classifications and ITO definitions related to a role.

role_edit_resources

To add a new item to the list, click add_16x16.png. A dialog opens. Select the file (e.g. a ruleset) and click Open.

To remove an item from the list, click remove_snapshot_16x16.png.

The default items, such as rulesets, are marked with a yellow star (yellow_star_16x16.png). The default resources of a role are selected in their corresponding Open dialogs or loaded automatically, if a default role has been set. To add one of the items on the list to the default set, click gray_star_16x16.png, and the star turns yellow.
