Lock Your Workflow
You can lock workflows (including analytic apps and macros) so that users can only run them in Designer.
- Users cannot open or edit locked workflows. When you try to open a locked workflow or macro, you see a message that it cannot be edited. When you open an analytic app, the app interface displays.
- Users can run (but not open) locked workflows only on a machine with a serial number specified at the time the workflow was locked.
Lock from Menu
Click Options > Advanced Options > Lock Workflow to open the Lock Workflow window.
- Output Location: Click Browse to navigate to the location to save the locked workflow.
- (Optional )Restrict use to specific serial numbers (one per line): Optionally enter a list of the serial numbers. Only users with a listed serial number are able to run the locked workflow. List each unique serial number on its own line. To locate your serial number, go to Help > About.
- (Optional) Set expiration date for locked workflow: Optionally select a date. The locked workflow will expire on the date specified, preventing the workflow from being run or used anymore.
