Using @command formulas with actions and hotspots
When an action or hotspot uses an @command formula, the formula works only when it runs in the appropriate context. Keep the following in mind:
Automated components with formulas run by users work only if users activate them in the correct context and have enough privileges to perform the automated task. For example, if a formula in a hotspot uses @SetField to change a field value, the hotspot doesnĄ¯t work when the user activating it has only Reader access or the document is in read mode.
An automated component with formulas cannot usually complete unauthorized tasks on a database stored on a server because most users do not have privileges that allow them to run such tasks. However, in a local database where you have Manager privileges by default, an automated component with a formula could potentially change documents. If you are unfamiliar with the formulas associated with an automated component, review them first.
If the userĄ¯s NOTES.INI file includes this statement
NoExternalApps=1
then any formula involving the following features is disabled:
