Restricted Sections

Overview Copied

Gateway Setup Files (main and includes files) can be configured to contain (show) only specific sections.

Each file contains a Restricted sections, that contains the list of sections that are allowed or not allowed in that file depending upon if the Restrict flag is selected. If Restricted sections does not exist all sections are allowed.

Operation Copied

You can specify restricted sections using the Restrict setting in two ways:

• To restrict all sections but allow the selected ones.
• To allow all sections but to not allow the selected ones.

When a top-level section is allowed (e.g. Database logging) its sub-sections (Tables, Items) are also selected. In cases when only the sub-section is allowed, but not the top-level section, only the sub-section is modifiable and the top-level section is empty.

If a restricted section exists in the include file, the Gateway sends an error message and the setupis not applied. By default, all restricted sections are hidden by default in the Gateway Setup Editor. They can be shown using View -> Show restricted sections.
