Document Security Tab - Document Settings Dialog

This dialog contains permission settings that can be changed in order to enable or disable users’ document permissions when Design Mode is locked. When in Form Mode with Editing Enabled, only certain editing functions may be performed. Permissions are established by the designer of the document prior to locking Design Mode and are applicable to the current document only.

It is not imperative to set up document permissions. The default for each document permission is Operation prohibited. Locking Design Mode without establishing permissions provides no access to any document permissions in Design Mode.

These document operations may also be outlined for smaller portions of the document by using the section, paragraph, table part and cell commands.

Available operations

Lists all operations within the document to which permissions can be applied. To specify document permissions for various areas of the document, click on an area and then select the permission level.

Notes

When permission is turned off for any element, commands and dialog boxes pertaining to changing those elements will be grayed out or unavailable in the program.
If applying a security configuration to a part of a document, for example, a section, only those permissions that pertain to sections are applied.

Notes

Only On Enter, On Exit, On Input and On Selection Change events still function in popup cells, since they can be operated in Form Mode with editing enabled.
Numeric, alphanumeric and date cells function in Form Mode with editing enabled is determined by the permissions assigned to their cells. Check box, radio and push button cells, because of how they work, always behave the same in both Form Mode and Form Mode with editing enabled.

If users attempt to delete a selection of paragraphs containing hidden paragraphs, CaseView displays a warning before completing the operation.

If users try to drag and drop the selection, CaseView does not allow the operation and displays a message box explaining hidden paragraphs may be found within the selection.
