Hello @shun6 ,
Client Script
In some cases, you may need a Client Script to enforce the UI policy dynamically.
-
Navigate to Client Scripts:
- In the application navigator, type "Client Scripts" and click on it.
-
Create a New Client Script:
- Click on the "New" button to create a new Client Script.
-
Configure the Client Script:
- Table:
sys_user_preference
- Type: OnLoad
- Script:
function onLoad() {
var notificationField = g_form.getField('glide.ui.notification_system');
if (notificationField) {
g_form.setDisplay(notificationField, false);
}
}
- Save the Client Script.
-
Hide the Notification Preferences Option
To further ensure that users cannot see or interact with the notification preferences, you can hide this option using a UI Policy or Client Script.
-
Navigate to UI Policies:
- In the application navigator, type "UI Policies" and click on it.
-
Create a New UI Policy:
- Click on the "New" button to create a new UI Policy.
-
Configure the UI Policy:
- Table:
sys_user_preference
- Condition:
name == 'glide.ui.notification_system'
- On load: Ensure this is checked.
- Reverse if false: Uncheck this.
-
UI Policy Actions:
- Create a new UI Policy Action to hide the field.
- Field name:
value (or the field representing the notification setting)
- Visible: False
-
Save the UI Policy.
Create a Business Rule to Enforce Notification Settings
To ensure users cannot disable system notifications, you can create a Business Rule that prevents the update or creation of preferences that disable notifications.
-
Navigate to Business Rules:
- In the application navigator, type "Business Rules" and click on it.
-
Create a New Business Rule:
- Click on the "New" button to create a new Business Rule.
-
Configure the Business Rule:
- Name: Prevent Disabling System Notifications
- Table:
sys_user_preference
- Advanced: Check the "Advanced" checkbox to write a script.
-
Script:
- Write a script to prevent users from changing the notification settings.
Here's an example of a script to prevent users from disabling system notifications:
(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
// Check if the preference being modified is related to notifications
if (current.name == 'glide.ui.notification_system' && current.value == 'false') {
// Prevent the change by setting the preference back to true
current.value = 'true';
gs.addErrorMessage('Disabling system notifications is not allowed.');
}
})(current, previous);
