Overview

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.

VisibilityPermissionExample.png

  • Visibility Permissions that start with Enable or Show refer to system objects that are not visible by default.
    Accordingly, when Enable Copy, for example, evaluates as true, the Copy button will be visible and will not be visible when the Visibility Permission evaluates to false or is not set.
  • Visibility Permissions that start with Disable, Hide or Limit refer to system objects that are visible by default.
    Accordingly, when Hide Notes evaluates as true, Notes will not be visible and will only be visible when the Visibility Permission evaluates to false or is not set.

Examples of Visibility Logic

  • True if the Level 1 status is 'Draft':
'@opportunity.status@'='Draft'
            or
'@opportunity.status@' In ('Draft')


  • True unless the Level 1 status is 'Draft' or 'Open':
'@opportunity.status@' Not In ('Draft','Open') 


  • For a visibility permission based on the startdate or enddate standard fields:
  • Use '@fullstartdate@' rather than '@startdate@' and '@fullenddate@' rather than '@enddate@'.
This will format the stored date as yyyy-mm-dd so it can be compared using < and >.
'@fullstartdate@' >= '2009-05-01'


  • True if today's date is after the Start Date:
now()>'@fullstartdate@'


  • Never True
1=0 
 or
false


  • Always True
1=1
 or
true

UTA-level Visibility Permissions

To access UTA-level Visibility Permissions, click on the Security tab of the UTA Settings Page, then click on the hyperlink for Visibility Permissions:
UTAVisConLink.png

Up to four tabs will be displayed on the Visibility Permissions page.

  • Level 1 Logic
  • Level 2 Logic
  • Level 3 Logic and
  • Miscellaneous Logic

The terms Level 1 through 3 will be translated by the system to the terminology used in your . In the example below, Level 1s have been renamed to Grants, Level 2s have been renamed to Activities, and Level 3s are not being used. Therefore, the Level 1 Logic tab is displayed as Grant Logic, the Level 2 Logic tab as Activity Logic and the Level 3 Logic tab is not shown.
