How to show a Form Field when member belongs to a specific Group?

How to show a Form Field when member belongs to a specific Group? - in Eureka

I'm using Eureka now and would like to only reveal 2 special fields on a form to users that are in a specific group.

e.g.   Users belonging to a 'BackupOperatorGrp' group have 2 mandatory fields on a form to fill in. example field names are 'Backup Type' and 'Backup Start Time' . The backup operators will enter random text as a string in the fields. Anyone else not in the 'BackupOperatorGrp' group will not even see these fields when the form launches.

I gather that a UI policy maybe the way to go with but i can't select 'group' from the Conditions: drop-down and can't see it in the Show Related Fields either. Therefore i'm assuming i need to put a script in-place. I've laid out the UI Policy as below. Any help help creating this script would be appreciated.

UI Plicy for Showing Fields for Backup Operators Only - (example only)

Table: B_Operators_Update

Short Desc: Show Fields To Backup Operators Only

Global: ticked

Reverse if False: ticked

On load: ticked

Inherit: unticked

Run scripts: ticked

Execute if true: script

happens to us too. It is very brief.

What would be nice would be when you create a form to be able to add a field, but have it set initially to visible = false and then use a UI policy or script to make it visible

Even having a ui policy to initially hide it does not make a difference.

Many Thanks Julian

I really appreciate you help.

Lets hope the SN Developers have a tweak at this sometime in the future.

Hi @poyntzj 

I used the above client script and modified it to show 3 custom fields i created for category, sub category and effort in hours but it is hiding the fields for all users. I want these fields to be available for group TAM Cat and Sub Cat.

Below is the code i am using and i am getting error in form 'Scratchpad : undefined'.

function onLoad() {

//if(g_user.isMemberOf('TAM Cat and Sub Cat'))

//return;

g_form.addInfoMessage('Scratchpad : ' + g_scratchpad.isMember);

//if(g_user.isMemberOf('TAM Cat and Sub Cat') && answer < -60 )

if (g_scratchpad.isMember == true)

{

g_form.setVisible('u_tam_category',true);

g_form.setValue('u_tam_category','');

g_form.setMandatory('u_tam_category',true);

g_form.setVisible('u_tam_sub_category',true);

g_form.setValue('u_tam_sub_category','');

g_form.setMandatory('u_tam_sub_category',true);



g_form.setVisible('u_effort_in_hours',true);

g_form.setValue('u_effort_in_hours','');

g_form.setMandatory('u_effort_in_hours',true);

}

else

{

g_form.setVisible('u_tam_category',false);

g_form.setMandatory('u_tam_category',false);

g_form.setVisible('u_tam_sub_category',false);

g_form.setMandatory('u_tam_sub_category',false);

g_form.setVisible('u_effort_in_hours',false);

g_form.setMandatory('u_effort_in_hours',false);

}

}

there are two ways to do this.. one as mentioned above is to use a client script and query the database to check group membership...a different way would be to pass in the groups in a scratchpad variable in an on display br.

Doug, I understand it would be best to do this with a client script, but i'm happy to accept any examples as my scripting level is not great.
