Export data option on BIRT report [message #719136]

Hey Jason

In my application, I have a tabular report with visibility rules applied on, by virtue of which a few columns of the table are hidden for a particular group of users.

Now, when this group of users try to use the export data option on the frameset,they are able to view these hidden columns on the export data dialog box.

Is there a way to restrict them from viewing/exporting these columns?

Thanks much in anticipation.

Best Regards
Gaurav

Gaurav,

There is an advanced property called allow export that can be set to
true or false for a table. If you want this to be decided at run time
you can name the table and then do something like the following in the
beforeFactory:

reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("mytable").setProperty("allowExport",
false);

I just wrote up a quick blog post on this feature:

Hey Jason,

Would this solution work if I need to hide specific column bindings instead of the entire result set?

Thanks and Regards

Not using the approach I blogged about. You could do in by editing the
JavaScript that is used to build the export data dialog. Others have
named the columns with a specific prefix that can be used to cull it out
of the list when the columns are added to the dialog.
