MacroProtectionLevel may be set in the [STARTUP] section of
Procbook.ini at one of the following levels:
Value Description
0 Display is opened with macros enabled.
1 User is prompted when display is opened; project is set to design mode if user
selects <Disable Macros>.
2 User is prompted when display is opened; project is opened with macros disabled
if user selects <Disable Macros>.
5 User is prompted when display is opened; project is always set to design mode
when opened.
6 User is prompted when display is opened; project is always opened with macros
disabled.
The default value for this setting is 0, so that if it is not present at all in the
.ini file, then FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook always executes macros.
View Only Mode
Installations of FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook can be configured so
that users on a network may only view ProcessBooks and not change them.
The user has access to the Standard toolbar, including the Trend Display
feature, but cannot save an ad hoc display.
To put FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook into view-only mode, add the
line
ProcessBook=Primary
to the Startup section of your ProcBook.ini file.
Alternatively, if you use Windows Authentication security, you could set
the file permissions to read-only for those users who should not modify
ProcessBooks. Those users could make a copy of the file locally and
modify it.
