This solution secures access to the comments database.
The following parameters can be used to archive/delete comments or restrict access to comments as described below.
| Logical deletion of comments | If this option is ticked, when the user deletes a comment, it is no longer visible in the dashboard but remains in the database. The comment then has a "Deleted" status and can be recovered, if necessary, by connecting to the database. |
|---|---|
| Archive comments until | Enter a date in the form DD/MM/YYYY before which you wish to archive the comments. Archived comments are no longer visible in the dashboard but are kept in the database with the status "Archived". |
| Delete comments until | Enter a date in the form DD/MM/YYYY before which you wish to delete comments. |
| Delete user comments | Enter the user ID from which you wish to delete comments. |
| Comment security | Enter one or more user parameters to restrict access to comments. For example, ${user.param1}. Only users sharing this parameter will have access to comments. |
| Multi-value separator for comment security | If the user parameter has several possible values, you can enter a separator to distinguish these values. For example, a slash (val1/val2) or a comma (val1,val2). |
| All" security value for comments | You can enter a value to be used to display all comments. This value will allow the user to see all views, regardless of the security in place. For example, .* or All. Users with this user parameter value will be able to see all comments. |
| Category n | Icon defined for each comment category. |
