You use this function to lock the current view in a report or input schedule, or both the current view and data, or to take the workbook offline.

Features

The data and current view in a report or input schedule is live until you use one of these features from the Park N Go action pane:

  • You can lock the current view by choosing Set to live data and static current view. Locking the current view allows you to store the file on the server and share it with others who are authorized.

    Note Note

    The term 'static' indicates that a refresh does not update the current view or the data.

    End of the note.
  • You can lock the current view and data by choosing Set to static data and static current view. You lock the current view and data when you want to protect the data in the report or input schedule from being refreshed.

    In addition, you can use this function to take a report or input schedule completely offline and bring it back online. You can make changes to the report or input schedule when you are disconnected from the server, then bring it back online later.

  • You can take reports and input schedules offline by choosing Set to offline (no connectivity). When you want to send a report or input schedule to remote users, you can take the workbook offline. Remote users can look at published information and enter data in an offline workbook, but do not have authorization to update or view unpublished data. These users do not have access to Interface for Excel. After a workbook has been taken offline, you can bring it back to its live state when you want to work with it in Interface for Excel (as long as there are no significant changes to the format).

    Note Note

    When you set reports and input schedules to offline, the system changes the Ev functions so that you can open the workbook in native Excel. If you want to set the template to be live and send the data, do not change the format or formulas.

    End of the note.
