KB442090: How to Hide the "Shortcuts" from Showing up During Search for Objects on a Report by Having the Exclude Shortcut Selected by Default using Web SDK

By default the option to "Exclude Shortcut" during searches on report objects, is included in the search result.

If you would like to change the behavior to not show shortcuts, follow the below steps to make an plugin:
 

1. Using Web Customization Editor make a new plugin. I named mine "disableExludeShortcut".
   
2. Go to "Strategy Web Configuration" tab. Under "Browser Settings" folder select "Browser Settings".
   
3. On the "Browser Settings", under "Setting:" search box, select "exs" and change the "Value" from " False" to "True".
   
4. Save the plugin and restart your web server. 
   
5. That will have the "Exclude Shortcut" option always checked by default. 
   

The example provided in this document is provided “as-is” to the user and assumes that the user:

• Can program, compile (e.g. javac, etc.), and execute Java programs
• Can configure environment variables (e.g. JAR files, property files, etc.)
• Have all the necessary tools to create Java applications (JDK, IDE, etc.)
• Has access to the Strategy SDK documentation.
• Has read the customization warning at the bottom of this document

PREREQUISITES:
For the sample to work, the Strategy Web JAR files must be accessible by the Java Runtime
Environment. The Strategy Web JAR files can be found under:

• Strategy Web Universal (JSP): {web_root}/WEB-INF/lib directory.

Note: More elaborate programs will require additional library files and are out of the scope of this document.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The Strategy SDK allows you to customize the standard Strategy Web interface, and extend and integrate the Strategy business intelligence functionality into other applications. However, before changing the way Strategy Web products look or behave, it is helpful to understand how the application is built. For more information regarding the Strategy Web architecture or the process of customizing Strategy Web, please refer to Strategy Developer Zone (https://resource.microstrategy.com/msdz/).
