Remove menu option for specific selected values?

Is there a way to remove the option to select a menu link for specific fields?
For example I have a dashboard that has details of each users action and a few of those users are actually an automated system. So the few that are part of the system do not need to be reviewed as those are always automatic.
I want to only allow this menu selection for actual users and not the few "accounts" that are part of an automated system.
The kind of menu link on selection I am talking about.
Is it possible to remove this menu link for only specific values in a column?
I don't think it's possible - am fascinated to know if someone comes in with a way to do it - so one option to consider is renaming to "Daily Details - ignore for Bot 1 & 2" so the users are aware they should do nothing.

How to make a background macOS application?

I'm trying to develop a macOS app that performs operations on a file when the user chooses to do so. My goal is to let a user right-click a file, select my app from the list of services so that the app will pop open a UI with things like configuration options, etc.
A prime example would be Evernote's "Add to Evernote"; when a user clicks it, the Evernote app opens and saves the file there. In addition, I need to switch control to the UI, so that the user can input some settings, before performing any file operations.
The place where I'm stuck now is how to get the app/UI open when the user clicks it from the contextual menu, as well as keeping the UI hidden initially. From some googling, I think what I need to make is an agent? I'm not really sure.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Customize basic search form and provide appropriate search results

Please help.
SugarCRM's Basic and Advanced Search field arrnagements can (and should) be configured using the Studio Tool. Log in as a System Administrator, click the Admin link in the top right corner and find the link for Studio
Within Studio, navigate to the module you're like to configure, go into Layouts, then Search, then Basic Search. The screen arrangement can be configured using drag-and-drop 'bricks' to represent the fields. All database fields for the module can be added to the Basic or Advanced search filters.
The screen can be configured using code, but I don't see why you would opt to do that. If you do, though, be sure to clear your cache using Repair and Rebuild or by enabling Developer Mode in the System Settings.

iPhone Settings Menu - creating a list that allows user to add, edit and delete items

I am looking to create a settings menu feature that allows users to add, edit and remove items from a list. In adding an item to the list, the user will then be prompted to add some further sub-data such as name, value etc. The list should only allow one item to be selected. As far as I can see this is similar to, but beyond the capability of the PSMultiValueSpecifier, in terms of the user adds/edits/deletes and sub-data being added.
Similar functionality is implemented in the ‘Choose A Network’ section of the iPhone’s Wi-Fi settings but I am not sure how this is done. In this, users can add a new network and then specify security type, password etc.
Any ideas how I might go about achieving this?
Do a search in sample code regarding UITableView (In iPhone dev center or inside Documentation), I am sure I have seen that kind of sample ;)

Design ideas for multi-select items from a long list

I'm developing a system in which I need to select, from a long list os customers, some to which an specific (batch) action will be executed. For example, I want to select "John", "Peter" and "Steve" and click the "delete" button. No more than 5 customers will be selected.
The problem is that, since there're more than 500 customers, listing all isn't a good option. So far I did an AJAX search that shows just the customers that meet the criteria, but which multiselect way you recommend?
My best idea so far is a below this list in which I could either drag-and-drop the users I want to select or double click them
Any better ideas/examples?
Thanks
I don't know whether you're using jQuery, nor whether your site's design vocabulary is suited to it -- but this jQuery autosuggest plugin is excellent.
+1 for ksr's autosuggest find. I would use this in conjunction with a list box. The user types in the autosuggest input field and when they select an item it adds it to a list box. They can then add additional names via the same method, and submit the list when they've added all the names.
I would go for the pattern used by eBay. They probably did some usability research. You can find more info here: http://quince.infragistics.com/Patterns/Multiple%20Selection%20from%20a%20Large%20List.aspx
