Dustin,

This being the Action Request System, there are a number of ways to
accomplish this.

One way would be to have the Public home page open for everyone.

The first Active Link 'ON OPEN' would check to see if the User was a
technician. 

If yes, and then open the 'other' home page and close the public one.

Since there won't be an active link on the technician's home page there will
not be any looping.

 

It's been awhile since I've done this, but we set up a dummy home page,
possibly due to tight security.

It was minimal form with text trim along the lines of "Please wait ."

It had On Open active link that opened the tech home page on the 

THEN condition and the Public (default) home page on the ELSE condition. 

Again, no looping.  

HTH,

Joel

Subject: Setting home page view via workflow

 

** 

Greetings!

 

I have constructed a home page with two different views; one for the
technicians and one for everyone else.  The fields that I have for the
'public' view doesn't apply to the technicians and vice-versa.  Is there a
way to choose which view the home page displays when it opens based on group
membership?

 

I know how to control the view displayed with the Open Window active link.
However, attempting that on the home page results in an infinite loop.  If
someone knows of a better way to position the fields to where I can use one
view and control visibility via permissions, that would also work.  I just
didn't want gaps in one view or the other caused by my choices of field
placement.

 

I hope this makes sense.

 

Thanks!
