Using Section Access With a single Excel Sheet in Qlikview QVD

[miguelbraga]

Hi guys,

I'm a beginner Qlikview Developer and I'm struggling with a problem. I've seen lots of people using INLINE Tables when using Section Access and I understand how that works, but I need to implement a similar using a Excel Sheet. My Excel Sheet looks like this:

ACCESS	USERID	PASSWORD	UNIDADE_DE_NEGOCIO	CONSULTORIO	TRADUCAO
ADMIN	Administrador	Admin	*	*	Administrador
USER	Producao	qlik	*	*	Produção
USER	Consultorio_G	qlik	*	*	Consultório Geral
USER	Consultorio_G_Ana_	qlik	Análises	*	Consultório de Análises
USER	Consultorio_G_Car_	qlik	Cardiologia	*	Consultório de Cardiologia
USER	Consultorio_Car_1	qlik	Cardiologia	Cons.Cardiol. 1	Consultório de Cardiologia 1

I've loaded this as:

SECTION ACCESS;

LOAD

     UPPER(ACCESS) AS ACCESS,

     UPPER(USERID) AS USERID,

     UPPER(PASSWORD) AS PASSWORD,

     UPPER(UNIDADE_DE_NEGOCIO) AS UNIDADE_DE_NEGOCIO,

     UPPER(CONSULTORIO) AS CONSULTORIO

FROM

[..\Dados\dbs\Section Access.xls]

(biff, embedded labels, table is Folha5$);

SECTION APPLICATION;

I have this two fields in the QVD:

• Unidade_Negocio
• Consultorio

What I really need is when I enter with one user that user sees what is defined in the Excel Sheet. What I'm doing wrong? What I need to change to get the results I need?

Many Thanks

Miguel Braga

I think the problem isn't excel or inline table as you can read the section access from excel, inline, a database, etc...

First use uppercase for section access field values

Second, you have 2 fields (or 3?) in section access, read here for an example

There is no problem in loading the table from excel, I do it all the time. Please check the following

1:

• Unidade_Negocio
• Consultorio

These fields in the section application should also be in capitals, contents of these fields as well

2: In the Settings\document properties\Opening tab is the initial data reduction based on section access checked?

[miguelbraga]

This is what I entend to do:

1. The user with the ID: Administrador sees available all possible values in the field Unidade_Negocio and all possible values in the field Consultorio.
2. The user with the ID: Producao sees available all possible values in the field Unidade_Negocio and all possible values in the field Consultorio.
3. The user with the ID: Consultorio_G sees available all possible values in the field Unidade_Negocio and all possible values in the field Consultorio.
4. The user with the ID: Consultorio_G_Ana_ should only sees available Análises in the field Unidade_Negocio and all possible values in the field Consultorio.
5. The user with the ID: Consultorio_G_Car_ should only sees available Cardiologia in the field Unidade_Negocio and all possible values in the field Consultorio.
6. The user with the ID: Consultorio_Car_1 should only sees available Cardiologia in the field Unidade_Negocio and Cons.Cardiol. 1 in the field Consultorio.

I've modified the Unidade_Negocio fields like this:

• UPPER(Consultorio) AS CONSULTORIO,

and modified the field Consultorio to this:

• UPPER(Unidade_Negocio) AS UNIDADE_NEGOCIO,

in my two tabs with two separate loads from two diferent (.qvd).

The only three possible values of Unidade_Negocio is

• Análises
• Cardiologia
• Imagiologia

And one of the possible values of Consultorio is:

• Cons.Cardiol. 1

I've also checked in the document as you sugested like this

And after reload the project with the user with the ID: Consultorio_G_Ana_, it appears I have access denied. What I'm doing wrong, what I need to change more to get the expected results?

Thanks for the reply,

Miguel

Please See attached.

this will give you some idea on using Section Access.

Admin can see all the fields and all the data

User1 can only see ANALISES,   and  CONS.CARDIOL.1 from  UNIDADE_DE_NEGOCIO and CONSULTORIO

User2 can only see CARDIOLOGIA,   and  CONS.CARDIOL.2 from  UNIDADE_DE_NEGOCIO and CONSULTORIO

User3 can only see both ANALISES ,CARDIOLOGIA,   and  CONS.CARDIOL.1,CONS.CARDIOL.2 from  UNIDADE_DE_NEGOCIO and CONSULTORIO

Thanks

When I tried replicating your problem I had a problem with the space in "Cons.Cardiol. 1", maybe you have a problem with that as well? Anyway I have attached a working example from your data (passwords as well), see attached

Your answer helped me a lot. I've used the table bellow to correctly make my Section Access Table:

ACCESS	USERID	PASSWORD	UNIDADE_DE_NEGOCIO	CONSULTORIO
ADMIN	Administrador	Admin	Análises	Cons.Análises 1
ADMIN	Administrador	Admin	Análises	Cons.Análises 2
ADMIN	Administrador	Admin	Imagiologia	Cons.Imagiol. 1
ADMIN	Administrador	Admin	Imagiologia	Cons.Imagiol. 2
ADMIN	Administrador	Admin	Cardiologia	Cons.Cardiol. 1
ADMIN	Administrador	Admin	Cardiologia	Cons.Cardiol. 2
USER	Consultorio_G	qlik	Análises	Cons.Análises 1
USER	Consultorio_G	qlik	Análises	Cons.Análises 2
USER	Consultorio_G	qlik	Imagiologia	Cons.Imagiol. 1
USER	Consultorio_G	qlik	Imagiologia	Cons.Imagiol. 2
USER	Consultorio_G	qlik	Cardiologia	Cons.Cardiol. 1
USER	Consultorio_G	qlik	Cardiologia	Cons.Cardiol. 2
USER	Consultorio_G_Ana_	qlik	Análises	Cons.Análises 1
USER	Consultorio_G_Ana_	qlik	Análises	Cons.Análises 2
USER	Consultorio_G_Car_	qlik	Cardiologia	Cons.Cardiol. 1
USER	Consultorio_G_Car_	qlik	Cardiologia	Cons.Cardiol. 2
USER	Consultorio_Car_1	qlik	Cardiologia	Cons.Cardiol. 1
