Make a button appear based on section access

ivandrago — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 16:03:27 GMT

Hi,

I have a button on my Document, I only want this to show when the user has access to all data? The field that determines what access a user has is called "Permission" there are two values in this field which are called 'Secure' or 'NonSecure'. So if a user has access to see all the data he would see both sets. I tried to do something with the button on the Layout tab and do a conditional formula on the "Show" option but not sure what to do? I've tried the following =Permisson =('*') but to no avail

Thanks

Hello Ivan,

If the field is Permission and there's only one possible value per user, the conditional should look like

Permission = 'Secure'

Hope that helps.

Hi, Some Users will see data where the Permission is "NonSecure", basically when there is a user who I have said on the Section Access that they can see ALL, I want a button to show on there document.

I would suggest going with the functions maxstring and minstring and section access to ignore all selections. The show condition could then be:

maxstring({1}Permission) = 'Secure' and minstring({1}Permission) = 'NonSecure'

Hope that helps,

Hi Ivan,

Try the following as conditional:

=Match('Secure', $(=chr(39) & Concat(DISTINCT Permission, chr(39) & chr(44) & chr(39)) & chr(39)))

That will return greater than zero (so true) in the case that the value "Secure" is in the list of all possible Permission values the user has.

Hope that helps.
