Hi 

I have created a custom field 'ITIL Required' on the incident table, This field is currently showing in the reports under configuration tab --> Choose columns,  it should not be visible to the users while creating the reports. 

 

I have tried creating Field level ACL's for operation report view but it did not worked. 

 

Could you please help me in achieving this. 

 

Attached screenshot for reference. 

 

Thanks in Advance. 

 

Regards,

Bhavani

Hi @YekboteB 
Firstly, you should enable the system property : glide.report.add_to_list_supported

Then create field level, "add_to_list" type ACL on your custom field.

As per the above ACL, only admins can add the Manager field as a column in list-type reports.
For other users, the Manager field will not be visible for selection.

Hope this helps.

@YekboteB , 

I think you should try a field-level read ACL, since you want to completely hide the field from being listed or selectable,  report_view ACL might not cover that scenario.

For that you can create an add_to_list ACL on the field to prevent users from adding it to list layouts.

Custom field name: --- html test field

@YekboteB 

simply create add_to_list ACL for that field and give only admin role in it

Now no user can add this field in normal table list or in reporting as well

Note: This impacts both the places i.e. reporting list and normal table list as well
