Password encryption If needed, encrypt a rendered report with a password.
Either toggle ON the option Set password in the Ninox UI, or alternatively use a custom script and the functions printRecord
or printAndSaveRecord
.
Option A: without a custom script (Ninox UI)
Option B: with a custom script
Copy printRecord(this, "templateLayoutName", data)
Copy printAndSaveRecord(this, "templateLayoutName", data)
The data
object can include the property _options
with pdfPassword
which overrides the default settings set by the print engine in the Ninox UI, if you previously toggled OFF Set password .
An empty password like""
will not encrypt your report.
Example
Add a new layout element, here: a button.
Paste the script below in the formula editor.
Click or tap the button to run the script.
