What inspired this Wish List Request?
This discussion in the SE Discussion board: Locking a workflow for validated process (GMP)
On checking, it also appears that Application Builder / Dashboard Builder don't provide locking/encryption capabilities either.
All three are basically JSL under the hood, so it follows they should all have this capability.
Please describe the new or improved feature or solution you would like to see.
Provide the same run and edit encryption capabilities found for JSL files for workflows, application builder and dashboard builder files.
What would the value be to you and/or other users if this new feature is provided?
This would support customer usage of custom workflows and reporting in controlled environments (i.e., "validated environments" or other regulated manufacturing environments).
Is this an external customer request?
The original request (see link above) was for a customer. The extension of the request to Application Builder is a logical extension of the concept to other JSL-like objects in the JMP environment that are easy for a user to edit or modify.
Is there a competitive software package that has this feature or solution that we should be aware of?
n/a
Will this impact a renewal, expansion, or adoption at a customer, and does this put an account at risk if we do not address this?
Any action we can do to support easy adoption of JMP tools in controlled environments will aid in expansion of our user base in those environments. For HLS-type situations, one of the biggest hurdles for adoptions of new JMP releases and technologies is the "validation" step. This will help with that process.
