The settings that control whether a field is present in a table are stored in ar.ini file for the User Tool. For midtier users they will have to be using a preference server to set/save those options. It's not going to be easy to manage this directly so how about setting the column to HIDDEN in the field properties of the form and then using an active link, running for members of the group you're interested in on form open, to change the visibility of the field to VISIBLE?
Mark From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Nau, Michael Sent: 27 November 2012 14:35 To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Adding "removed" columns to a table ** Hi guys, one of our support teams has requested that 3 additional columns should be added to the main table on the IM Console. These columns will only be used by the requesting team, so I don't want anyone to see them after I add them to the table. I'm looking for a way to add these columns in a "removed" state, by which I mean the state that a column is in after a user removes it via the table preferences. The result would be that I can add the columns and then tell the requesting team that they can make the columns visible via the preferences. Does anybody know how to achieve this?
