We recently upgraded to 8.5, and our server address book now has configuration documents viewable to all users. All I want to them to see is People and Groups. When I try to edit the template that the Address directory is inheriting, it tells me I cannot do so because the design is hidden.
Basically, I would like to get in there and make that Configuration folder/view invisible. What’s my best bet?
Subject: Modify the Outline in your names.nsf database
Open your names.nsf in Designer then open the Outline ‘(AllViews)’.
Right Click the entry for ‘Configuration’ - choose ‘Outline Entry Properties’.
Change the Hide-When formula to read:
@IsNotMember(“[ServerModifier]” ; @UserRoles)
Save
Then check ‘Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify’
Before you upgrade to a new release, (for example, 8.5.1), be sure to uncheck ‘Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify’ - upgrade your server, then when the names & address book’s design is upgraded - repeat the above steps.

Sorry to have to ask this, but where specifically do I find the ‘Prohibit design refresh or replace to modify’ option?
Subject: Outline Properties - Design Properties box
It was much easier to find and use in the old designer clients -
While you have the Outline highlighted you should see a ‘Properties’ tab (probably directly below the ‘list’ of Outlines - there’s only one, of course)
The third box down is labeled ‘Design’ click there - you should see 'Prohibit design… ’ to the right…
