Enable or Disable Record View

The Record View feature allows users to access information about the unit record data that makes up the values in the table.

This feature is enabled by default, but you can disable it using SuperADMIN permissions if you do not want to allow users to access unit record data. If necessary, you can apply Record View permissions on a per user or per group basis.

Record View cannot be enabled if you are using Data Control plugins to apply confidentiality to your datasets.

Enable or Disable Record View on a per User Basis

You can set user permissions for this feature so that only certain users have access.

Use the cat command in SuperADMIN to assign the appropriate Record View user permissions to each user you want to be able to access Record View.

Users who do not have access to RecordVIEW will not see the RecordVIEW button.

Disable Record View for All Users

If you want to disable Record View for all users, you can do so by setting global.enableRecordView to false in configuration.properties .

You will need to restart SuperWEB2 to apply the change.

This setting hides the RecordVIEW button from the SuperWEB2 interface. If you are blocking access to Record View for security reasons, you may also wish to disable Record View at the SuperSERVER level. See Configure Record View Permissions for more details.

Optional: Configure the Download Limit

By default, users can download up to 100,000 cells using the Record View feature. You can change this limit if necessary.

To change the limit, open configuration.properties in a text editor. This file is located at <tomcat_home>\webapps\webapi\WEB-INF\classes

Make a backup copy of this file before making any changes.

Locate the following line:
CODE
```
recordview.maxCells=
```
Set the value to the maximum number of cells you want to allow users to download. For example:
CODE
```
recordview.maxCells=1000
```
Save your changes.
Restart Tomcat (or the SuperWEB2 Service).

This limit is configured as a maximum number of cells, but it is applied as a limit on the number of rows. The row limit is calculated at runtime based on the cell limit and the number of fields selected.
