Password Protection for Metrics

Set and enable a metric password to prevent others from editing the metric.

You can set a password for an individual metric or for a folder that includes everything that exists under it (subfolders and sub metrics). If a metric is added under a password-protected folder, you need to apply a password to protect the new metric if you want it protected.

If a metric or folder is password protected, you cannot delete, cut, or rename it.

If you save to the metric library, all of the passwords are stored (encrypted) in the template.

Password Protecting Individual Metrics

After you set a password and enable password protection on the metric, you cannot edit any information on that metric without using the password to disable password protection.

Password Protecting Folders

After you set a password and enable password protection on a folder, you cannot edit information for any existing metrics within that folder. You can add new metrics as needed; however, they won't automatically be password protected.

To password protect the new metric, you either have to password protect it individually or clear and set the password and enable protection again at the folder level.

Password Protection Menu Options

Right-click on a metric or folder to set, clear, enable, or disable the password protection.

  • Set Password — Click to set a password for the currently selected metric or folder. You can use any alphanumeric or special characters and there is no minimum/maximum character count. After you set the password, you need to enable the password protection to lock the item.
  • Clear Password — Click to remove or clear an existing password. Acumen asks you to enter the current password in order to clear it.
  • Enable Password Protection — After you have set a password, click this option to lock the metric or folder for editing.
  • Disable Password Protection — Click to remove password protection. Acumen asks you to enter the current password in order to remove the protection.
