Using a password to make a sub-form visible

Avatar

Level 5

Good day all;

Now that I have this form nailed down and ready to send to the user, I get asked “1 more thing”.

On the form I have a button that opens up a sub-form to allow the administration group to add extra notes. They asked if there was a way to hide this from all users except for the people in their area.

The one thing I thought of was a password. In other words, if a user clicked on the button that was labeled “Admin Only”, the user would have to enter a password for the sub-form to become visible.

Of course there might be a different ways to do this, so, I would appreciate any help I could get.

Thanks All.

You can use the JavaScript method app.response to ask for a password.

var pwResponse = app.response({

    cQuestion: "What's the password?",

    cTitle: "Enter Password to show subform.",

    cDefault: "",

    bPassword: true,

    cLabel: "Password:"

});

if (pwResponse == "asdf") {

    SubformXYZ.presence = "visible";

}
