The term visibility has a specific meaning in the SmartSimple context. Visibility can refer to the ability for a given user to access records in the system, and can also refer to the ability for a user to see specific fields on a record.
At the Record Level
There are several ways to determine whether or not a record will be visible for a given user. A key method in the context of a UTA is the Security Matrix.
At the Field Level
Standard and custom fields can have a visibility condition set which determines whether or not they are displayed on the page.
Visibility conditions can be set at the field level:
- by a logical statement in the "Visibility Condition" setting within the field;
- by a combination of Field Permissions within the field;
- by a Field Permission Matrix; or
- by a combination of the above.
Validation criteria, including if a field is set to be mandatory, will not be triggered if a field is not visible on the page. Browser scripts will not run if the field's visibility criteria are not met.
