Setting Up Agreement Protection

To restrict what specific profiles can and cannot do with generated documents, you can protect it either by making it read-only or enabling track changes to capture any updates on the generated document.

For example, specify a Sales User who can generate or regenerate a document but when editing or forwarding it to a customer, track changes are enabled.

When the protection levels are setup at for different actions, the document is protected according to the protection type and the specified level.

Tip: To enable agreement protection, ensure that you set up the admin entries for APTS_Protection and APTS_Password prior to defining the agreement protection.
