You can create a project disclaimer configuration to display custom disclaimers upon project opening. The disclaimers can contain any information you want the project users to be aware of before opening the project. The project can only be opened once all of the specified disclaimers have been read.

Disclaimers in used projects

  • If the disclaimer configuration is created in a used local project, it must be located in a shared package of the used project for the disclaimer to be shown when opening the main project.
  • If you are using multiple projects that contain disclaimers, the order in which they are displayed is determined by the order in which the projects were used (however, disclaimers created in the main project are shown first). The same order applies if you create multiple classes with the «disclaimerConfiguration» stereotype in the same project; the disclaimers of a class that was created first are also displayed first.
