Trouble with Section Access

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Trying to get section access to work, started a week or so ago and got stuck, revisiting now.

This is what I've got so far below. When I login as hutchs I get everything which is correct. However I can't login as jason. This had me puzzled, but I'm guessing it cant find the DISTRIBUTOR_TERR (also tried lowercase) so denies all access.

Where am I going wrong?

TIA, Steve

Section Access;

LOAD * INLINE [

ACCESS, USERID, PASSWORD, OMIT, DISTRIBUTOR_TERR

ADMIN, hutchs, hutchs, Type, 10

USER, jason, jason, Type, 55

];

Section Application;

LOAD distributor,

customer,

product,

order_no,

fin_year,

fin_period,

supplier,

warehouse,

quantity,

name,

invoice,

val,

cost,

lab_hand+'10' as lab_hand,

mtl_hand,

long_description,

ovr_hand,

list_value,

analysis_a,

analysis_b,

analysis_c,

cost+lab_hand+mtl_hand+ovr_hand as TFC,

IF(warehouse='01',IF(analysis_a='EQUIPMENT','Equipment',IF(analysis_a='ACCESSORY','Equipment','Spares')),IF(warehouse='55',IF(analysis_a='EQUIPMENT','Equipment',IF(analysis_a='ACCESSORY','Equipment','Spares')),IF(warehouse='56',IF(analysis_a='EQUIPMENT','Equipment',IF(analysis_a='ACCESSORY','Equipment','Spares')),'Service'))) as Type;

ODBC CONNECT TO [Sage CD Live];

SQL SELECT *

FROM cdlive.dbo.op_inv_tfc

where product not like 'CAR%' and fin_year >= '13' and fin_year <= '98';

//where month(date_entered) = '03'

//and year(date_entered) = year(today);

Concatenate(op_inv_tfc)

LOAD distributor,

fin_year,

type as Type,

budget,

(budget/('31/08/15'-'01/09/14'))*(today()-'01/09/14') as pro_rata_budget;

ODBC CONNECT TO [Sage CD Live];

SQL SELECT *

FROM cdlive.dbo.hpc_dist_budget;

//Dates for Start and End of Financial Year need to be changed every year

join(op_inv_tfc)

LOAD Distributor as distributor,

Distributor_terr;

SQL SELECT *

FROM cdlive.dbo.hpc_dist;

Hello Steve,

Section access can be tricky sometimes.

I don't know your data but from my initial look it might be that your data reduction is looking for a field called 'Distributor_terr' but that is the name of your table loading from SQL.

You could try changing the Section Access from 'Distributor_terr' to 'distributor', and make sure that there is a value of 55 to allow jason to open the document.

Also check your UI settings such as 'Initial Data Reduction Based on Section Access' and 'Strict Exclusion' are enabled

Hi Steve,

You need to have something that links the two together.

Section Access;
LOAD * INLINE [
ACCESS, USERID, PASSWORD, OMIT
ADMIN, ADMIN, ADMIN,
USER, USER1, U1, SALES
USER, USER2, U2, WAREHOUSE
USER, USER3, U3, EMPLOYEES
USER, USER4, U4, SALES
USER, USER4, U4, WAREHOUSE
USER, USER5, U5, *
];
Section Application;
LOAD * INLINE [
SALES, WAREHOUSE, EMPLOYEES, ORDERS
1, 2, 3, 4
];

In this example, the field OMIT has been added as part of Section Access.
USER1 will not be able to see the field SALES, USER2 will not be able to see field
WAREHOUSE and USER3 will not see field EMPLOYEES.
USER4 has been added twice to the solution since we want to OMIT two fields for this
user, SALES and WAREHOUSE.
USER5 has a “*” added which means that all listed fields in OMIT will be unavailable.
USER5 will not be able to see fields SALES, WAREHOUSE and EMPLOYEES.

You got the problem right. You need this field in the section application. It is essential to have field name in uppercase, and field values too:

join(op_inv_tfc)

LOAD Distributor as distributor,

upper(Distributor_terr) as DISTRIBUTOR_TERR

;

SQL SELECT *

FROM cdlive.dbo.hpc_dist;
