Hi Experts,

We've a requirement to hide particular data set for users, until it's reviewed & approved by admin. This needs to be implemented in our live environment (BO WebI 3.1 and Oracle 10G). We explored below options on the db side but obviously it will increase the maintenance efforts:

1. Implement data level security using Virtual Private Database (VPD) and some flag indicators.
2. Storing approved and unapproved data in different db partitions

Wanted to check if there is there a quick option available to achieve this.? Any inputs will be greatly appreciated!

Obviously, you can distinguish approved data from unapproved. Let's suppose that there's a column CB_APPROVED in a table, whose value is 1 if data is approved, and 0 if it is not approved. Perhaps you could create a view, such as
create view approved_data as
select col1, col2, col3, ...
from your_table
where cb_approved = 1
and let users work with that view (i.e. base form's data blocks on a view (instead of a table), report's queries should select from a view (instead of a table), and so on.
