How do I activate developer mode?

Steps

  1. Open Settings and scroll down to Developer Tools.
  2. Click Activate the developer mode. The page reloads.
  3. Now you see Extra Rights on the user form (permissions without a section, such as Picking Cost Value), Settings › Users & Companies › Groups and the Settings › Technical menu.
  4. If you hover over a field's label you will see its technical name: it is the one typed in the states' Required Fields.
  5. To leave, go back to Settings and click Deactivate the developer mode.
Warning

Developer mode does not give permissions, it only shows options. What you change in Settings › Technical affects the whole database.

Site note

You can also activate it by adding ?debug=1 to the page address.

You do not need it to give the BIM 2.0 profiles: they are seen on the user form without it.
