It is necessary to secure reports based on the sensitivity of the report data. Sigma enables you to protect your data by configuring the password protection for reports in Studio. Here, you can set up your convenient way of encryption in order to ensure security. This feature is only applicable for PDF, Excel and word export formats.
Perform the following additional steps in Canvas Studio to enable password protection:
- In Report Parameters tab, select Yes from the Is Password Protected? drop-down.
A Password Pattern field appears.
2. Now, enter the function and attributes patterns in the Password Pattern field.
3. Enter '#' to view the list of functional patterns available for the password and select any from the list.
- s:getFirst can be used to read characters from the first.
- s:getLast can be used to read characters from the last.
- d:day
- d:month
- d:monthabbr
- d:monthfull
- d:year
- d:year2
4. Enter '@' to view the list of password attributes available for the functions. Select any one from the attribute list. 
Here, s:getFirst(LOGIN_ID, 4) +getLast(MIDDLE_NAME, 3) is provided as the password pattern. The expression informs the system to read the first four characters from the Login ID, last three characters from the middle name and concatenate them to form a password.
5. Perform the other configurations and save the report.
