Entering drawer passwords

Password protection allows you to control access to specific drawers. If you assign a password to a drawer, you will need to enter the drawer password whenever you select the drawer for viewing.
note
To restrict access to a drawer, you must enter a master password.
  1. Select the drawer to which you want to restrict access.
  2. Choose File > Drawer Properties to open the Drawer Properties dialog.
  3. In the Drawer Properties dialog, click the Restrict Access button.
  4. If your security configuration requires it, enter the master password and click the Continue button to enable the fields in this tab.
  5. Mark the
    Deny access to drawer data unless password is known
     checkbox.
  6. Enter the password in the
    Drawer password
     field and then enter it again in the
    Verify
     field.
  7. Select OK.
  8. Select OK again to close the Drawer Properties dialog.
tip
  • To remove the password for the open drawer, repeat steps 1 - 3 to return to the Restrict Access dialog and clear the
    Deny access to drawer data unless password is known
     checkbox.
  • To change the password for the open drawer, repeat the above procedure, entering the new password in step 6.
