Restrict action buttons per user

Laserfiche Forms

Updated February 16, 2018

asked on February 14, 2018

Hi All,

Have a client using Laserfiche forms to generate Work orders, and they have requested their supervisors to be able to progress the form if required (e.g. The supervisor should be able to "complete" an active job once it has been finished)

The client does not want the supervisors to have the ability to "cancel" and active work order.

Essentially an active work order has 3 action buttons.

Complete
Reassign
Cancel

Is there a way we can restrict or hide action buttons per users / teams?

Another option I thought of was to have "Cancelled" jobs to route to the admin team for them to "Approve" the cancellation, however, the client would prefer the first option if possible.

Thanks!

you could do it by using javascript to hide the button base on the users login to the forms

Hi Rene,

I was hoping this would be possible, would you happen to have an example of how to achieve this?

There is a token for currently logged in user available for forms. If you pull this back into a hidden field (just add a new single line and hide it) and use a Javascript if statement to hide / show buttons based on that variable value.

here a sample c# code that do almost what you want, you will just need to tweek it with proper parameters

$(document).ready(function () {
   
    $('.Submit').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
	//$('.Submit,.Reject,.Approve').hide();
	
    $('#q125 input').click(function () {
        setTimeout(function () {
            if ($('#q10 input').val() > "0") {
               
                $('.Submit').removeAttr('disabled');
				//$('.Submit,.Reject,.Approve').show();
                            
            } else {
               
                $('.Submit').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
				//$('.Submit,.Reject,.Approve').hide();
            }
        }, 300);
    });
});

You could uncheck the buttons that you don't want to appear for a particular task. If you need the same form to have the buttons for another user, then just duplicate the user task and adjust the action buttons accordingly.

Hi Raul,

Would this mean that both admin and the supervisor would both have to "Complete" the task as they would be separate tasks?

That's correct.

If what you are looking for is to have only one user task where either person can log in and complete the form, but show the buttons depending on the user, then Rene's suggestion is more suitable.
