Activate Tryout Mode

Tryout mode allows you to view pages that have a status of 'InTesting' so that they can be viewed working in Central.

This mode is only available to Central pages.

This mode allows you to view any errors or problems with the layout from the changes that have been made to the inherited page, without it affecting any other users of Central.

To use tryout mode, you must have administrator privileges for the root Centralfolder.

To activate tryout mode:

  1. Navigate to the root Central folder in Windows Explorer.

  2. Open the TribalTech.EBS.Win.Shell.exe file in Notepad.

    TribalTech.EBS.Win.Shell.exe file

  3. Search for the following line: <add key="TryoutEnabled" value="False" />

    'Tryout Enabled' set to false

  4. Edit the line so that it reads: <add key="TryoutEnabled" value="True" />
  5. Click Save.
  6. Open Central and open a page that has a status of 'InTesting'. Any changes that have been made will be visible.

To deactivate tryout mode, revert the changes made so that the TryoutEnabled value set to 'False'. Central will need to be restarted to confirm these changes.
