Enabling and Disabling Reading Protocols

Introduction

The Enable option allows you to add previously disabled reading protocols to the Reading Protocols drop-down list in the Viewer toolbar.

The Disable option allows you to remove a reading protocol from the Reading Protocols drop-down list in the Viewer toolbar and preserve the reading protocol for future use. You can only disable a reading protocol that you created. Your System Administrator or a user with the appropriate privilege can disable any user reading protocols and system reading protocols at the Enterprise, Role, or User level using Administrator Mode.

Note:

Protected reading protocols cannot be disabled.
