Force Tabs Off for Certain Form Views

marskh111 · ‎03-27-2017

I created an onLoad client script that I thought would work and it hasn't been. The intent is to force this particular view on this particular table to have tabbed forms OFF. We want it to override preferences for users, forcing it to be untabbed for all. Can anyone assist me in what I might be missing?

How about just removing the sections from the view and add a form annotation to simulate the different sections - Add a form annotation

The only thing you lose is the ability to hide/display the items in the sections:

Hey Marskh,

For TABBED FORM -

Go to User Administration > User Preferences

2. Search for Name --> tabbed.forms

3. Make the User blank and Value false.

That didn't seem to do that trick for me.

That work for me.

That doesn't work for you because all the users have there own user preferences for tabbed.forms.

First delete the user preferences of all the users then

Search for Name --> tabbed.forms

Make the User blank and Value false.

Although that does seem to work at first, it seems to override for the entire system and then a user selects tabbed forms again and it reverts back to the old tabbed version. I was hoping to use a script to always force the un-tabbed version of the form but ONLY on this table and this view. I do not want to change preferences system wide for every form.
