Formula Groups

 

Menu option 916 – Formula Group Setup

 

Formula groups provide a way to hide certain formulas from certain users.  They can also provide read-only formula access to given users.

 

This example shows two formula groups, named “Secret” and “Top Secret”:

 

Clicking on a formula group on the left will show which users listed on the right have access.  In this example, Admin, Barbara, David, and Susan are the only users allowed to see and change a “Secret” formula.

The user “Admin” has complete access to all groups at all times.

 

Formula groups are assigned to formulations in the general tab (menu option 20 – Formulation Maintenance and Analysis):
