Different detail & inline views according to different users

[Deledgard]

Hi everybody

I could see it is possible to create different detail & inline views just clicking in a copy button

The idea is to get different views for different users

In order to do so, I tried a "show if" condition, but it doesn't work.

Even do that, all the users get the same view, wich is the created copy, not the system generated

What am I doing wrong???

If your objective is to show different data to different users and not different columns, I would use these techniques rather than different views. (Views navigation is tricky

I don't know exactly what you're trying to ask, so I'm just giving it my best guess. If I'm way off track, make sure to include more details in your question.

When the user is in a "collection" View, that means a table,deck,card,gallery,etc (any view that shows multiple records), and they click a single record, default behavior is to navigate them to a Detail View for that record. I believe you're trying to get different users to see different Detail Views at this point, correct?

If so, what you're doing with the show_if is quite wrong, it doesn't work like that at all.

It's a pretty ambiguous request, about what you're wanting. But one way you could accomplish something like this is to create a new Action, which you set as the "row select behavior" of the collection View, which uses a SWITCH or IFS or similar, to execute different LINKTOVIEW expressions according to the user.
