How to disable ECM Compensation Plans

Question

Hi people:
We have an issue with the Compensation Planning ECM iView of the our MSS 6.1. We want to hide a couple of Plans (the tabs) from the current iView. We have tried with all the different parameters included on the iView, but we have not been able to modify anything apart from the columns groups or the columns assigned to the iView on the parameters
We have reviewed all the Object and Data Provider tables but we have not found anything related to this of how to enable or disable the Compensation plans tabs from the ECM Compensation Planning and ECM Compensation Approval
We have reviewed as well the Compensation Workset guides but apart from parameters to modify the navigation or the content of each Compensation plan, we have not found any reference which can guide us. We have tested the following parameters VIEWIDSAL, VIEWIDBONREG,VIEWIDBONOFF,VIEWIDLTI and play with them removing and changing the standard parameter ECMNAV,ECMBON,ECMLTI,ECMSAL based on the ODAP, but we have not found anything which can help us.
Has anyone knows if it is possible and how to achieve this on the Portal?
Kind regards

Hi Gonzalo,
Each tab in ECM corresponds to a Plan as created for Enterprise Compensation Management in configuration.  Whether the tab appears or not depends on whether it is assigned to the Review also created in ECM.  The Program assignment will determine whether an employee is eligible for a particular Plan, but the name will appear on the tab but all entry columns will be blanked out. 
We just completed introduction of ECM and configured 1 review item for 2007.  There were 6 plans each with a separate tab - Hourly Merit, Salaried Merit, Hourly Market Adjustment, Salaried Market Adjustment, Lump Sum Adjustment and a Summary tab.  The columns that appeared on each tab were configured in the Object and Data Provider and each one was different.  Both hourly and salaried employees appeared on all tabs, but no entry could be made in the Salaried tabs for Hourly employees and the same for Salaried in the Hourly tabs.  The Summary tab was custom designed and had all information about both hourly and salaried and provided overall department totals. 
To remove the tabs, you must remove the plans from the review.  You did not explain which tabs or why, but if you wanted to separate the salaried tabs from the hourly, you would have to create two reviews and then select the plans you want to display in each.  You would use the features to indicate which reviews would be available for which employees.  The managers would then have two entries in MSS to select the reviews for the salaried employes or the reviews for the hourly.  As explained above, we combined them so we could have department totals including all employees.
