Hello, Iโm trying to figure out a way to force users to my Terms of Service if their Signature field is empty in my Users table.
The Starting view expression works well, but if a User is running the app on a computer, and they had saved their shortcut to the app in the โHomeโ view for example; it bypasses the starting view and Show_if constraintsโฆ The buttons to those views are hidden, but the shorcut saved the link with #control=Homeโฆ So the user is just stuck in that one view.
Is there a way to run a LINKTOVIEW() action on sync? OR to force the view I want from within the Show_if Constraints?
Workflows will only allow data change, so I canโt run it there which would be perfect unfortunatelyโฆ
No and no.
You could consider the following:
OR
Well the only views present are dashboard viewsโฆ so maybe I can just put a show-if constraint on all of the views, in all of the dashboards?
My TOS view is a detail view. But when I put the show_if constraint to only show if signature field is emptyโฆ it doesnโt hide from the dashboard view once itโs NOT empty as expected. lol
Would it be worth it to feature request Security filters for Views? In that situation one could just set the security filter and redirect the user to the next view set by the starting view constraints if applicable, or the next available view.
Another idea would be to assign actions on Signature save when the user selects โDoneโ. Similar to assigning actions on form save.
I havenโt tried that, so I canโt say whether it would work or not. My understanding of Show_If for views is that it merely determines whether the view occurs in the main menu or is displayed in the bottom button bar. It is not a security mechanism: it doesnโt prevent the user from accessing the view with a properly crafted URL.
Itโs worth it, absolutely!
This is true, though Iโm relying on several layers of other filters to create a security filter.
-Each dash view is a component of the larger macro data needed. Each Component will only show if the User has:
So even if a user used their URL wits to manually go to one of the dashboards, none of the components would show.
****EXCEPT that is the Terms of Service Form (Which is really a Detail view with an Editable Yes/No and Signature columns), which I found a way to integrate into the Dashboard.
-The names of my views are fairly long and complex, and I use Display namesโฆ so it would be difficult for a user to navigate to any specific view. They would have to know that super long view name (Usually something like โGigs Campaigns Access Tracking_Detailโ, and displayed as โCalendar Eventsโ)โฆ And the data in THAT view is part of a slice that only shows if youโre affiliated with a specific entity, and a calendar event is affiliated with that entity as wellโฆ lol
-Security filters to hide all data help as well as only showing buttons leading to the Terms of Service.
**Iโve not added security filters specifically yet though. There isnโt a need considering the other stuff above.
Iโm going to make a feature request, so hopefully others might not have to go through this much effort to achieve the same results.
