Customizing the user interface for all users

MalcolmJ — Thu, 16 Jun 2016 02:32:01 GMT

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on this.

We want to roll out ArcGIS Pro to some users across our organisation. The users are not so skilled so we want to minimise the user interface to only have the tools they will need. I have no trouble customizing my own ribbon but what I want to do is then roll out those same ribbon settings over multiple machines without having to manually set up each separate computer.

Does anyone know where the customise ribbon settings are stored? I'm hoping its stored in a file somewhere in the program files or in the users profile which can then be copied and pasted to override the default settings.

Or is there some way of exporting your ribbon settings and importing them into another computer?

Thanks

not sure since I never have to do this but project templates seems close

You could definitely achieve what you are looking for with an ArcGIS Pro SDK add-in which allows you to customize the Pro UI through the Pro Desktop Application Markup Language (DAML), see the Pro Framework doc here, and/or you may want to modify the ArcGISPro.Config.xml file configuration to point to your own custom DAML file applying your Pro UI changes that way.
