Hi.

Is it possible to create data items that are only visible to some individuals? One of my company's clients wants to incorporate cost reporting using Foxfire, but they do not want every user who has access to Foxfire to be able to see this information.

Thanks,

Dale Millson

Just a couple of minor points to clarify Andrew's answer:

In the v6 data item editor, the field where you enter your own data item suppression codes is located on the Advanced sub-dialog (press the Advanced button from the main form). The field is labeled: "User Definable Group ID's" You can type additional codes in there, separated by commas to identify one or more fields that you want to exclude.

In v6, what Andrew called the Report Set editor was known as the Preference Set Editor (sometimes it's called the Preference Set Picker). When you bring up this form, open the sub-dialog named "Files" and you'll see four sets of two fields each. Each set names a table where a particular data dictionary element is stored (e.g. Data Items) and a field where you can enter your filter expression (e.g. rdi_misc <> "xyz"). Now assuming you entered a code of xyz into the Rdi_misc field of the data item you wanted to prevent from being seen, when you choose that Preference Set, that field will be screened out and won't show up in picklists. .
