Can I force users to log into Prime with classic theme by default?

[Males]

I have recently installed Prime 2.1 and just configured Tacacs. Coming from WCS I am used to the classic theme. I would like to force users when they log in to automatically be in classic theme but I cannot find any info on that.

Anyone has an idea?

Hi ,

Yes this is possible .

this issue has been addressed in the following BUG:

Need a way to set Classic view as system default

However you need to contact TAC  to get this fixed because there are some properties files need to be edited .

Good to know, Afroz - thanks. 

I always use Lifecycle view but can see how some folks would prefer to keep their users with the familiar classic view - especially if they are familiar with WCS.

one of  the other workaround  which is a tedious task   " is logged in with each user switched to classic theme  as long as you did not  restart the sever or services ,user will be able to see the classic theme.

Afroz,

Unfortunately TAC wasn't able to help me and since I don't have a lot of users (5-10) I chose to tell my users about both views and have them switch on first login. It was faster than escalating to another engineer...

TAC mentioned that in the next Prime version Classic View will be depreciated too...

:(

thanks for your help.
