Configuring Features

SharePlus allows you to configure default behaviors and turn features on/off by using a centralized Configuration File with a specific structure. Having a centralized file, allows to set the application´s configuration at a global level. When this configuration file is modified, the changes will affect all Enterprise SharePlus users. Features disabled or trimmed may respond to security policies or, sometimes, just to simplify the UX (User Experience).

Configuring a Feature

The Features section is related to the application’s behavior and feature trimming. Every feature is represented by a dictionary structure and most of these entries display the following structure:

<key>FeatureName</key>
<dict>
  <key>Enabled</key>
  <true/>
  <key>Settings</key>
  <dict>...</dict>
</dict>

Each feature has the following common child nodes:
