Idea Summary
Be able to specify a password for a downloaded report as part of the download dialog - when selecting Excel as the download option
Use Case
Users are working with interactive reports and create their own saved reports etc. Sometimes they want to download the report contents for use offline - however - they want to password protect the download. At the moment they have to:
- Click download
- Specify EXCEL as the download type
- Downlod the file
- Open the file in EXCEL
- Add a password
Preferred Solution (Optional)
In the Download dialog, when the users chooses EXCEL as the report format, a conditional switch (similar to the “Send as Email”) would appear … Password Protect .. if this it toggled to YES then an additional Password field will appear and the user can add and confirm a password for the download - this password is then applied to the file before download occurs - so when the file lands on the users desktop it is already password protected.
This would also apply if the user decides to “Send as Email” too. The ability to Allow Password Protection would be another property on the Attributes → Download property pallete.
