Define default order of work centers

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I have a small simple question but could not find an answer in the documentation (Maybe it is there but I were not able to locate it).

The question is:

I have created multiple work centers in our custom solution.

These work centers always have the same order in the top ribbon after initially assigning them a user.

I can change this order as a user by dragging them using the mouse.

However:

Using the SDK, is it possible to define the initial order these work centers are displayed?

Reasoning behind this question is, that they have a natural ordering due to their nature but the current default order is a different one.

Hi,

I find this in the doc :

Modify the Order of Work Centers

You can modify the order in which the work centers are displayed in the UI Settings XML file, the path to which is given below.

Prerequisites

The UI Settings file has a WorkCenterListAnchor.

For more information, see Anchors.
