Capability Words? 2

[TudorSmith]

Hi,

I'm running v3.0 sp5

I have a drop down box on AMP.QUICK.G which I only want to be visible if a user has a specific capability word in their profile.

I've set up the Capability word already...now all I've got to do is apply the thing!

Anyone know how I can do this? What form/admin settings should I be looking at?

set a invisible field on the form ( a nice feature ) , set a variable ( depend on the capability word ) , and check the eng form dep.g for some examples

OK...I took a look at dep.g and there are some interesting options available here.

For instance, I could take a check box, and if it's value is true, then make one DropDoan box invisible, and the other one visible right?

Ok, how would I trigger the check box to be true based on a users capability word?

Thanks

you cann t use arrays .. thats means , in the format control on display set a threaded variable (e.g. index (&quot;capword&quot;,$lo.ucapex)>0 then $myvariable=true), put this variable to a invisible label on the form , thats all ....enjoy servicecenter )-:

Thats easy to do.
Lets say your cap. word is &quot;Admin&quot;

1. Set the visible condition on your field to Yes.
2. The visible conditition set to
[$visible]=&quot;ok&quot;

3. On your form add a field. The input must be $visible.

4. You should hide the field $visible. Set the visible condition to FALSE

5. in your format control. Go to calculation.
Add the followiing string
if index(&quot;Admin&quot;, $lo.ucapex)>0 then $visible=&quot;ok&quot; else $visible=&quot;notok&quot;

Now it should work.

Should work too. THe only thing is.. You HAVE to add a field with the input $MYVARIABLE. If you DONT.. it does NOT work.
