Oracle Analytics can now copy multi-select data cells in Tables

Oracle Analytics is now allowing to copy multi-select data cells in Tables!

Users can now easily multi-select, column-select or row-select multiple data cells in Oracle Analytics tables to copy data.

Thank you to our Oracle Analytics Ambassador Suganya Shanmuga Sundaram from Dropbox for submitting this idea in the Analytics Community Idea Lab. This is showing that Oracle is taking seriously the Voice of our Customers!

With this select copy function where users can potentially copy a huge (if not all) selection of data, are we able to restrict users from copying all data similar to how we are able to control data from being exported.

Hi @Dorothy Joseph-Oracle , I copy @Avinash Krishnaram-Oracle as he might provide an answer.

@Dorothy Joseph-Oracle No fine grain permission for copy cell value. That is a entirely different feature. The improvement we will work on is when Workbook Author turns off Copy Data property in Present, we will restrict the user from copying cell values.
