Blinding Status

The blinding status of the View Table instance is determined by that of the Table Instances mapped to the source Table Descriptors in the View Program.

If you have blind-break privileges on source Table instances that support blinding, you can authorize a view based on those Tables. You can authorize reading from blinded sources only if all the source Table Descriptors are mapped. Use the Authorize Read from Blinded Sources radio button on the View Program instance Properties page to authorize a View Table. By default, the setting is No.

If mapping of any source Table Descriptors becomes incomplete or new Descriptors are added, the Authorize Read from Blinded Sources setting is automatically set to No. When the authorize setting is modified, the Program instance is implicitly checked out.
