Adding conditions to determine access to UI controls

You can conditionally modify the default access to user interface (UI) controls. UI controls include text boxes, check boxes, and radio buttons.

Procedure

  1. In the Conditional Expression Manager application, create one or more conditions that grant access to a UI control when the condition is true.
  2. In the Security Groups application, create or identify the security groups that can access the UI control.
  3. In the Application Designer workspace, select Add/Modify Signature Options, and create a signature option.
  4. Select the UI control that you want to configure, and select Control Properties.
  5. Click Configure Conditional Properties and specify the following options:
    Option Description
    Signature Option Specify the signature option you created for the control.
    Security Groups Specify the groups that you want to provide with access to the control.
    Conditions for a Security Group Specify the conditions you created in step 1. The conditions apply only to the security groups that you specified.
    Property Values for Condition Specify the names and values of the properties to be controlled by the condition.
  6. In the Security Groups application, grant the signature option to the security group.

Results

The users in the security groups that you specified can see the UI control when the conditions you apply are true. Other users cannot see the UI control.
