Hi Colin

Tried that under my login to save me logging in and out every 5 minutes. Still allows me to select SALES VALUE from the list and displays data in the chart.

Thanks, Steve.

OMIT doesn't work that way. In the OMIT column you specify a field name. It that field cannot be found (as in your case) then it has been successfully omitted

[colin_albert]

Which fields exist in your data [SALES VALUE], [Sales Value] or both?

Can you test if the sales value data exists in a listbox rather than an ad-hoc chart, as OMIT should remove that field from the model for the user. Once you are certain that the data has been omitted correctly then look at getting the Ad-hoc chart correct.

Are you fully exiting the QV client and signing in again between tests to ensure that fresh credentials are used not cached credentials? To test section access means signing in and out a lot, there's no shortcut! Which client are you testing this on Ajax or desktop?

Problem with section acces and OMIT

Find the correct answer by Miguel in above link, he has attached a sample qvw.

OMIT is used to limit the FIELDS

If you want to limit the values within the field then use that FIELDNAME and under that place VALUE.

Ex:

Section Access;

Load * Inline [

ACCESS, USERNAME, OMIT, COUNTRY

USER, USERNAME1, SALES, USA

ADMIN, ADMIN, *, *

USER, USERNAME2, ,

USER, USERNAME3, PROFIT, UK

];

Section Application;

In above example, COUNTRY is a Fieldname and it has values USA, UK etc....

USER1 will only see USA and USER3 will see only from UK while USER1 will not see SALES FIELD

Hi Sasi

Yes that is close to what I am looking for although I don't really want users to be having to enter a username and password. Thanks for the help.

Hi Colin

I'm using the QV Desktop, V12. Yes I have been exiting the client and then reopening. What I can't find is how the %metric links back to fields generated by the QVDs we have that then work within the report.

The person who created the report is no longer contactable so I am at a bit of a loss with this one. Thanks for your help but I think this is going to require paid time with a consultant.

Username and Password can be removed and instead of that use NTNAME.

As locally we can test SA by logging in as different users.

But if you remove those 2 fields and just use NTNAME the result should be same and it will restrict users based on NTNAME, both locally and on access point.

[sasikanth]

HI,

Try to replace USERID & PASWWORD with NTNAME in that case

[colin_albert]

The %metric will be used in a Conditional Show expression in the chart columns of your ad-hoc chart.
This is nothing to do with Section Access and is an Ad-Hoc chart issue. 

There is an example Ad-Hoc Chart in the "Whats New in V11" example app.

The show condition will be something like this
