Toggling fields (5478+)

Note: Hide functions are NOT intended for denying access to data -it will only be hidden in the frontend, but is still accessible to savvy users.

Fields can be shown or hidden calling the fieldname

  • hideField(fieldName)
  • showField(fieldName)

Examples

hideField("USER");
hideField("StatusID");

Dependent toggling

Hiding and showing fields can be made dependent on classes in the TempusServaPage

  • hideFieldForPageClass(fieldName,className)
  • showFieldForPageClass(fieldName,className)

Hiding and showing fields can be made dependent on items current status.

  • hideFieldForStatusId(fieldName,statusId)
  • showFieldForStatusId(fieldName,statusId)

Hiding and showing fields can be made dependent on classes in the TempusServaPage AND items current status.

  • hideFieldForPageClassAndStatusId(fieldName,className,statusId)
  • showFieldForPageClassAndStatusId(fieldName,className,statusId)

In case of advanced setup consider "hide for all first and show for some later". In this example NAME should only be displayed for a few status

hideField("NAME");   
showFieldForStatusId("NAME",1234);
showFieldForStatusId("NAME",1235);

Disclaimer

The functions are the equivilant of JQuery

$("#VB_DATA_"+fieldName).parent().parent().hide();
$("#VB_DATA_"+fieldName).parent().parent().hide();

This means that fields are expected to be wrapped in TWO layers of html tags for the functions to work
