Hello.
We working with WI6.1 version.
I have developed the set of reports for our client.
The user has the edit option.How I can to prevent the overwrite the existing report(get read-only option) if the user did changes.
I want obligate the user to duplicate the report and to do the changes in new report.
You can’t do this at the desktop level. The original is stored in the repository. A copy is brough down to the users desk. I don’t think there is any way to force the file to be read only. BO won’t let you publish a report to the repository if the read-only flag is set on the actual file in Windows.
You can stop the user republishing the report to the repository with the correct command restriction in Supervisor. As Steve said, they’ve in effect taken a separate copy of the report by retrieving it from Corporate Documents. Your other option for full client/ZABO users is to set up a read-restricted file share where you make reports available to them rather than using the repository.
I think I found the solution.
All reports have developed by BOAdmin user.
I get off the checkbox ‘Can delete reports’ in Supervisor in all user’s properties except BOAdmin user.In another words the user can change and save only these reports that he created.The reports that were creted by BOAdmin would not be overwrited.
Do you have any comments?
