client script to hide form section

[Krissy]

Hi

I am writing a client script to hide a section tab on the form if the user dosnt have a specific role. If they do have the role show it. My script is not working

function onLoad() {

    if (g_user.hasRole('training_bureau')) {

        g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_value', true);

        else if (!g_user.hasRole('training_bureau')) {

            g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_value', false);

        }

    }

am i missing anything?

Hi @Krissy ,

Try with below script:

function onLoad() {

    if (g_user.hasRole('training_bureau')) {

        g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_value', true);

        else  {

            g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_value', false);

        }

    }

Approach 2:

Create UI policy with the following scripts:

update the UI policy script as this

Execute if true:

function onCondition(){

if(g_user.hasRole('training_bureau')){

g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_value', true);

}
else{

g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_value, false);

}

}

Note: expected behavior. g_form.setSectionDisplay('<form section name>', false), will check whether is there any fields are mandatory, before hiding it.

Before hiding the section in the client script, you have to make the fields in the section as g_form.setMandatory('field_name', false); for all the fields in the section and then you have to add g_form.setSectionDisplay('section name', false); it will work

Hi use below code 

function onLoad() {
if (g_user.hasRole('training_bureau')) {
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_value', true);
} else {
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_value', false);
}
}

@Krissy , The only Issue with your Script is your Validating the Role Multiple times and this can be simplified to below

if (g_user.hasRole('training_bureau')) { // this Validates if current user has role "Training Bureaue" 
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_value', true);
} else {
g_form.setSectionDisplay('section_value', false);
}
}
