Prevent copy paste from Details and Table view

Sometimes data published with Omniscope reports is so confidential, owners that publish the data do not want users to copy and paste the data into Excel and distribute it from there based on their own terms.

I would be nice to have an option to prevent users from doing this.

This is precisely what the "Owner-locked" option is for. This option allows only the license that created the file to open it in unrestricted mode. All others will open it in "locked" mode. They will be able to print but will not be permitted to copy and paste or export data, regardless of their license capabilities.

Thanks Steve. I have tried it and this is exactly what i need.

I believe it is also the case that a user cannot save the file when it is owner locked? If true, it might also be an idea to separate between save (yes/no) and copy/paste (yes/no)

Thanks

This is something we'll be looking into shortly.

Welcome!
