You can use the Logout Action in both the Jedox Spreadsheet and Canvas. To set this Action up in a spreadsheet, start by selecting a form element such as a Button, Checkbox, List, DatePicker, or Combobox. In Canvas, you should add a native component that supports Actions, such as a Combobox, Button, or Checkbox.
Below are the steps for configuring the Logout Action for a Button in a spreadsheet. These steps are also applicable for setting up this Action in Canvas.
- In the Insert menu, click on the Button icon.
- Choose the Logout Action.
- Label and format the button as desired.
Once the Logout button is ready, clicking on it in a report results in the following pop-up dialog:
The Logout Action does not have any further functional settings.

When you choose the Logout Action in the Type of Action dropdown menu, you can see the Confirmation dialog option at the end of the Action dialog.

Assigning Actions to Workbook event
As a Jedox Report Designer, you can assign an Action to open, load, and close workbook events. This way, the states are initialized or cleaned up without needing to write any Macros.
To assign an Action for workbook events, click on File > Workbook event.
You can assign a Logout Action to the Close workbook event.
Notes:
-
Actions assigned to the Workbook events in the "Resource" workbooks (workbooks loaded in the background while some reports are opened) will not be executed.
-
When using a Canvas, only Actions assigned to the Workbook events in the current Workbook, which contains the Canvas, are executed. Actions assigned to the Workbook events in other workbooks, from which the content is loaded into the Canvas, will not be executed
