Hiding Form Sections Based on User Group

[allison_holt]

I am trying to hide a form section based on a users group, which is not listed on the form itself.

I tried the following client script and it's doesn't hide the tab.

function on Load(){

var me = g_user.userID();

if (me.isMemberOf('7efcb8956fa21100dd3253eabb3ee40c'){

var sections = g_form.getSections();

sections[3].style.display = 'block';

} else {

    sections[3].style.display = 'none';

    }

}

Any help as to what I can do to get this to work would be appreciated!

Hi,

Try not to use alerts in between Glide record.

if(ir.next()){

//use your alert here and try.

  g_form.setValue('u_comments', "hi shikha");// use single quotes here

  sections[1].style.display = 'block';

  sections[2].style.display = 'block';

  }

Do you have any mandatory field in these two sections?

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes i had a UI policy on comments field in this section, i have deactivated it for now, But still there is some problem.

I have 2 sections on form:

First section gets visible as per below script:

function onLoad() {

  var sections = g_form.getSections();

  var approvalstatus=g_form.getValue("u_approval_status");

  if (g_form.isNewRecord())

    {

{sections[1].style.display = 'none';}

{sections[2].style.display = 'none';}

  }

else{

var manager=g_form.getValue('u_manager');

  var user = g_user.getUserID();

  //alert(user);

  //alert(manager);

if (approvalstatus=='Pending Approval' && user!=manager)

  {

  sections[1].style.display = 'none';

  sections[2].style.display = 'none';

  }

else

  {

  sections[1].style.display = 'block';

  sections[2].style.display = 'none';

  }

}

}

For second section i was using the below code in this same script after second else: but it was not working.

alert('checking user is member of T&E team');

if (approvalstatus=='Approved' || approvalstatus=='Limit Changed Addressed' || approvalstatus=='Limit Change Finalized' && (person.isMemberOf('T&E Credit Card Team')));

  {

  {sections[1].style.display = 'block';}

  {sections[2].style.display = 'block';}

  alert('checking done');

}

Now i used your code as per your suggestion:

function onLoad()

{

  if (!g_form.isNewRecord())

  {

  var sections = g_form.getSections();

  //var approvalstatus=g_form.getValue("u_approval_status");

  var person = g_user.getUserID();

  alert(person);

  var ir = new GlideRecord('sys_user_grmember');

ir.addQuery('group', '64ca1638db6e3680130a50a4ce961922');

ir.addQuery('user', person);

  ir.query();

  if(ir.next()){

  g_form.setValue('u_comments', "hi shikha");

  sections[1].style.display = 'block';

  sections[2].style.display = 'block';

  }}}

But it is also not working now.

First section gets visible as per below script:

function onLoad() {

  var sections = g_form.getSections();

  var approvalstatus=g_form.getValue("u_approval_status");

  if (g_form.isNewRecord())

    {

{sections[1].style.display = 'none';}

{sections[2].style.display = 'none';}

  }

else{

var manager=g_form.getValue('u_manager');

  var user = g_user.getUserID();

  //alert(user);

  //alert(manager);

if (approvalstatus=='Pending Approval' && user!=manager)

  {

  sections[1].style.display = 'none';

  sections[2].style.display = 'none';

  }

else

  {

sections[1].style.display = 'block';

  sections[2].style.display = 'none';

  }

}

}

Section 2 will be visible if you change it to "block".. TRy and let me know.

Hi Vinitham,

What you have mentioned is already running.

Problem is in below condition:

For second section i was using the below code in this same script after second else: but it was not working.

alert('checking user is member of T&E team');

if (approvalstatus=='Approved' || approvalstatus=='Limit Changed Addressed' || approvalstatus=='Limit Change Finalized' && (person.isMemberOf('T&E Credit Card Team')));

  {

  {sections[1].style.display = 'block';}

  {sections[2].style.display = 'block';}

  alert('checking done');

}

I want to make section 2 visible only after manager has approved the request : that is why i have given condition as f (approvalstatus=='Approved' || approvalstatus=='Limit Changed Addressed' || approvalstatus=='Limit Change Finalized'

Hi,

approvalstatus=='Approved' || approvalstatus=='Limit Changed Addressed' || approvalstatus=='Limit Change Finalized' - Here, please check whether you use values or display values to check the approval status.

Also, declare and set person variable before the if,else part and check.

Thanks,
