Prevent Full Download

Users can still easily clip and download specific content, such as tables, figures, and individual chapters and pages related to their projects, but never the report in its entirety. Your content, therefore, remains interactive and open but not exposed to misuse, such as through the sharing of reports with unauthorised users.

Activating the Prevent Full Download feature

1. As with most of our available preferences, Prevent Full Download can be set globally or for a specific account or user.
   
   To set the preference site-wide or for an account or for a user you can use Global Preferences.
   
   Alternatively, head to Admin > Accounts. Once in the Accounts tab, select the account or user you want to prevent from downloading full reports.
   
   
   
2. Once you have selected the desired user/account, click the Preferences tab.
   
   
   
   
3. Under the Preferences tab is a new group called Download Options.
   
   
   
   
4. Enter this group and click the Prevent Full Download field. A pop-up box will appear on the screen once this is clicked – simply click Save when this appears.
   
   
   
   
5. You can optionally test a user that has this preference as detailed here: Testing a User
   
   
6. You will see that the platform is still navigated as before. However, when clicking on an Interactive, SlideViewer, or PDF document, the Report Downloads section will no longer appear on the report landing page (as shown in the screenshots below). Instead, download options for individual sections, chapters, tables, and figures are available to users. These can be selected once the user has started reading their chosen report.
