Selected Selecting this check box for any of the options makes the option selected by default in the process wizard where it is located.
Secure Selecting this check box for any of the options prevents users from changing the setting for that particular option in process wizards where these options are also located. Cobra uses this feature to secure certain options while users run processes against projects.

If the Secure check box is selected, this option cannot be modified on the options pages of the Cobra process wizards. Select this option to ensure that all users are using the same settings when running Cobra processes.
