Reporting - hiding a field

[kbean1]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know if it is possible to keep a field from being reported on?   In my example, there is sensitive data being kept in the description field for a particular table (hr_case), and we don't want the description field to be available on list of fields for selection.   We want to prevent anyone from accidentally adding description as a field to a report.

Many thanks,

Ken

There is actually a "report_on" ACL as well, so in the case that you have HR managers who should be able to see the information, but you want to prevent them from reporting on it, you can set a report_on ACL to specify the conditions where someone would be allowed to report on it (i.e., admin role, or 'nobody' role)

Hi Josh,

I wasn't familiar with this ACL so I had a look at this.   It appears that the "report_on" ACL doesn't work on field level ACLs.

Cheers,

Ken

I am late to the party, but if you want to limit reporting on a field, you can do so with the report_view ACL
