Hide/Unhide the Kona Button

The Kona button on the Application toolbar is used to launch Kona, either within PM Compass or in a separate window. This button is hidden by default. You can modify the web.config file to hide or unhide the button.

See Application toolbar for more information about this button and how you can view it.

Unhide the Kona Button

To unhide the Kona button using the web.config file, complete the following steps:

1. Make sure all users are logged out of the PM Compass Server as these changes will log users out of their PM Compass session and may cause them to lose unsaved information.

2. Backup the existing web.config file. The default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Deltek\PMCompass\Web.

3. In the Windows menu, right-click on the Notepad shortcut and select Run as administrator.

4. In Notepad, click File » Open.

5. In the Open dialog box, browse to the web.config file and click Open.

   <add key="HideKonaMenu" value="Y" />

7. Save the changes.

8. Launch PM Compass to confirm that the Kona button is visible.
