Selection Criteria/Filtering based on OSUser

Dayna — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:50:11 GMT

Dear all,

What I am trying to achieve, is when a particular user logs on, they are only able to view one (or more) selections from a list box - I don't want them to be able to view the other selections. i.e.

When JBloggs logs in, user OSUser, they can only see results under 'Customer1'.... Or when JJones logs in, they can only see results under 'Customer1' and 'Customer2'.

I was thinking of doing it as a variable, as this will easily show who is logged in, but I don't know how to filter the list box data based on this... Any ideas are most appreciated!!!

Kind Regards,
Dayna

Dayna,
You can do it using Section Access. A pretty good document 'Introduction to Section Access' was recently posted by QlikTech's Gustav Guldberg in "Share QlikViews" section.
You'll need to use NTNAME in your Section Access, I assume.
