Can a View rule hide the Default view from the list of Views?

[Kumar60]

Hello All,

Lets take a table incident.Go to the list view i.e incident.list.Click on the context menu Views as showed in the screenshot.I would like to hide the default view from some users.Is it possible through view rule?If not how to do this.

I hope the view rule is to set the view to the user,not to show in the mentioned list.Correct me if I'm wrong. :)Thanks in advance.

Yes Ankur.That user is having view_changer role.But in my script I didnt set the default view.(haven't used default view in my script)In that  case default view should hide for this user right?

Hi Kumar,

can you share the view rule script or condition?

even if you have some script which sets view as ABC if user has role as ABC; if that user has view_changer role that user can still switch the views from ABC to any other including default

Hello Ankur,

Below is the script.

1.Now lets take user A has "Local_Admin" role and also he has view_changer role,then he is able to see the default view aswell,which I don't want.

2.For the user who has "Local_Admin",I would like to set his default list VIEW as HR_admin_One,but HR_admin_Two is getting overrided with HR_admin_One.This is because user satisfying both the conditions.(user doesn't have admin and user has Local_Admin).

So now Local_Admin should see HR_admin_One,HR_admin_Two only in the view list.

(function overrideView(view, is_list) {
answer = view;

var UserID = gs.getUser().getID();
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.addEncodedQuery('company.nameSTARTSWITHTechstar');
gr.addQuery('sys_id', UserID);
gr.query();
if (gr.next()) {
if (!gs.hasRole('admin')) {
answer = "HR_admin_One";
}
if (gs.hasRole('Local_Admin') ) {
answer = "HR_admin_Two";
}
} else {

var currentUser = gs.getUser();
var grpmember = currentUser.isMemberOf('Group1') || currentUser.isMemberOf('Group2') || currentUser.isMemberOf('Group3');
if (is_list && grpmember) {
answer = "HR_admin_Two";
} else {
var sysId = gs.action.getGlideURI().get("sys_id");
var gr_profile = new GlideRecord('sn_hr_core_profile');
if (gr_profile.get(sysId)) {
if (gr_profile.user.vip && !gs.hasRole('profile_reader')) {
answer = 'ess';
} else if (grpmember) {
answer = "HR_admin_Two";

}
}
}
}

})(view, is_list);

Hi Kumar,

I haven't worked extensively on view rules; but one thing I am aware is you can only set one view from view rule; answer variable holds the view name; if the logged in user satisfies more than 1 condition then the last script line which sets the answer variable with the view name; that view name is being used to show to the user in list

Thanks for the help Ankur.I will try writing different View rule with another order.Lets see if I can achieve.The below line I couldn't see in document anywhere,so trying to the best to set multiple views for a use.
