Visibility Permissions (formerly known as Advanced Logic) allow for system administrators to personalize their copy of SmartSimple to make various system objects available to users in different roles. Logic can also be set to control the visibility of system objects according to a set of criteria.

System Objects include things such as the Copy or New buttons on a record, or the Edit button on a user profile.

Visibility Permissions can be set at two different levels:

  • At the UTA level, for each individual and
  • At the Global Settings level, controlling visibility for objects throughout your copy of SmartSimple.

Setting a Visibility Permission

For each Visibility Permission, logic can be set determining the visibility of a given system object. Roles can also be specified that are permitted or denied visibility of the system object.

In the below example, only users with the role of Staff or System Administrator can copy a record, and the record must also have a Type of "General Community." If either of these conditions (role or record type) is not true, the Copy button will not be visible.
