Revision as of 15:33, 1 June 2009

The Visibility Condition section of Custom Fields and Standard Fields allows you to use logical statements to determine whether a field is visible or not.

Examples

• To make the field visible after 06 February 2009.

now()>'2009-02-06' 

• To make the field visible only if the date in the field named Date Initiated is after 2009-01-31

'@Date initiated@' >'2009-01-31'

• To make the field visible for a user with roleid 9999

',@me.rolelist@,' REGEXP ',9999,' =1

• To make the field hidden for a user with roleid 9999

',@me.rolelist@,' REGEXP ',9999,' = 0

• To make the field visible only when the status is Draft or Open

   * '@status@' in ('Draft','Open') 

Note: The above Visibility Condition would only be used Standard Fields. Custom Fields have a separate Status Field Permission section that can be used.

• More Examples,

'@Destination City@'='Toronto' 
'@Type@'!='Contract'

Note: remember to include the @fieldname@ in single quotes.
