Form exclusive sign-off problem

[mhudson]

I have a form that requires a sign-off to be completed, and according to our procedure, I am the only person authorized to do the signoff. How do I define the field or what kind of formula can I use to accomplish this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Typically, what I would do is have a role define the ability to signoff, and make a computed subform ("AllowSignoff&quot that loads when the user opening the document has the role.
For example, if the role is "[signoff]", then you can create a computed subform formula saying :

@if(@contains(@userroles;"[signoff]");"AllowSignoff";"ReadSignoff")

Then you can create the "AllowSignoff" subform that has the necessary functionality to signoff the document, and the "ReadSignoff" subform that allows the user to tell whether and when the document has been signed off.

Lots of fun in perspective !
