Disabling Export to Excel (Ctrl + E) and Other Keys

Hi,

We are using NAV 2016 and the Manufacturing team has many proprietary formulas (BOMs). The management wants to secure the system so that users cannot export the data or initiate a printscreen command.

Can we disable Ctrl + E and the 'Prt Sc' in NAV? Also, is there a way to disable other methods of exporting data to PDF, CSV, etc. in the Reports section? We do not need an enterprise wide ban. We need it configured on a few PCs and laptops only. The requirement is to control the feature using the NAV user id / permission sets.

We do understand that someone can take a screenshot from his / her mobile but that is not a problem.

Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Thanks,

Pradeep

    Do these users need to view BOMs? You can use permissions to restrict these users from seeing anything to do with BOMS.
