Is there a way to supress some of these options in “Shop Floor Workbench” with page designer or another method? We spent quite a bit of time in the “Dialog” portion of page designer but couldn’t find a way.
We also do not want to use “Shop Floor Reporting User Settings per Site” as it’s to granular and is missing options we’re trying to supress.

Yes, it is possible to suppress options in the Shop Floor Workbench using Page Designer, but it requires a specific approach involving Appearance Context Mapping and custom contexts.
Capabilities of Page Designer
According to the IFS Technical Documentation, Page Designer allows you to:
Extend page models
Add or remove commands
Hide or show attributes
Create master-detail relationships
However, direct suppression of specific options in Shop Floor Workbench dialogs may not be straightforward unless Appearance Context Mapping is used.
Using Appearance Context Mapping
This method enables you to:
Create a tailored view of the Shop Floor Workbench
Hide specific fields or options for certain user groups
Avoid reliance on the granular “Shop Floor Reporting User Settings per Site”
If you delete unwanted fields from the context in Page Designer but those fields are referenced in mappings, buttons, or commands that the user still needs those commands may no longer function properly. This is a rare but possible scenario.
You cannot suppress all types of options using Page Designer alone, especially those deeply embedded in dialog logic.
Some options may require custom configuration or extensions beyond what Page Designer offers.
Yes you can configure the Approve Operation dialog from the page designer from the address assistant/ReceiveShopOrder/ReceiveShopOrderAssistant
