It is amazing that you are implementing this feature! I was discussing exactly the same with our local 3cx partner!

How to completely hide the "Record" button? hide it not disable it. If it's not done yet, please do it

Thanks

@edmorcos Hi there.
You won't be able to exactly hide it, but only with the Enterprise edition of the license key, you could gray out the button and not to allow the user to manipulate with it, and have it either the recordings ON or OFF.

Yes we’re already with enterprise edition and know the option of greying it out.
Since there are these additional feature under development to better customize the iOS app, why not integrate the ability to hide it completely using XML? It’s completely in line with your initial goal of customization… for sure this feature would only be available for enterprise users so you won’t go against the Sales Team’s pitch

This is NICE !!!

Will it be possible to "push" the extension configuration using MDM profile ? (IOS and ANDROID)
That would be a killing feature and easy to manage / reinstall device

In the articile you mention "Below is an example of the settings you can disable/hide". These features are the only one available or more are coming ?

Thanks for this anyway

We don't have plans to push the extension configuration by MDM because, due to its "unicity", it's not suitable for MDM deployment. Assuming you're a taxi company, each driver should/would have its own extension/credentials. On the other hand, those settings in the .3cxmdm file **are** suitable for an MDM deployment - you want to restrict ALL drivers to change the settings you've configured for them.

@ThomB_3CX @Vali_3CX
any chance (hopefully!!) that you add the possibility to hide the "record" button as per my request above?

 

[alexandre.kaiser]

Is there a list of these features more complete than in the article you mention "Below is an example of the settings you can disable/hide" ?

@alexandre.kaiser
Currently only those are available - in case we'll add more, we'll announce, but we don't have any plans for now regarding this.
