Locking a QlikView document with an expiry date

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to lock a QV with an expiry date i.e. user will not be able to open the document after a certain date?  If possible, how can this be accomplished?

Hi, should be possible if you use Section Access and variables.

Let vExpiredate = 20151231;

Let vToday=today();

IF vToday <=vExpiredate then

Your script

ELSE

Section Access

USER NTNAME

ADMIN, ADMIN

ENDIF

Only admin can open document

Staffan, you make reference to 'Your Script' in your recommendation, which script are you referring to?

[stabben23]

The script in the application, the whole part of it. And after that add section access, dont forget to tick "Initial Data Raduction Based on Section Access" in opening tab, document properties.

[stabben23]

Maybe you shold add section Access first

if vtoday >=vExpireddate THEN

Section Access part

ELSE

script

Do you have knowledge about Section Access, if not be careful.

Wouldn't this approach require a (daily) reload?

Christopher, how is the QVW supposed to be distributed and used?

Thanks Swuehl

It is intended to be distributed as a desktop application and available on a year lease basis where if the lease is not renewed, user should not have access to the old data forcing them to renew the application after expiry date.
