hiding a field in pagelayout

i want to hide a field on the pageloaut depending upon the user. any help . i dont want to cretae any ne w pagelayot . in case it needs some javascript function help then let me know
Edwin VijayEdwin Vijay

In your normal pagelayout , you can hide fields using Field Level Security..

 

You will find "Set field level security" button when you view the details of a Field...

 

Is this what you're looking for? or you want to hide a field in a visualforce page....

agenthuntagenthunt
okay . leem give a real time example. just to point out , i am not adding any new profile and pagelayout 

 

 

two ways of doing things :

 

Scenario1

-------------

There are four  fields :A , B ,C ,D

 

if i want to  make 3 fields :B, C, D  visible depending upon the picklist value of   A , what should be done

 

 Scenario2
-------------

There are 2 types of user -A, B

 

when A logs in , he sees one set of fields and when B logs in he see another set of field . again , to make it clear i am not willing to have any FLS , profiles level permissions changed . ideally i would like one Jav script on top of a Visualfroce force form which decides on usr specific display of the fields.

Ok...  But unfortunately you cannot embed a visualforce form or javascript into your normal page layout..

 

But you can very well create your own Visualforce Page...

 

There is a rendered attribute while you add fields to your visualforce page.. You can possible add any condition in this attribute (be it based upon user or anything)

 

Scenario 1 as well as 2 can be achieved using this..  Let me know if you need any help to get started

Thanks Edwin . what about using  standard controller to create a section of field . and then in the pagelaout dragging this section . through the static resources , we can put one javascript , whichi will be header file for  visualforce page . long back i saw one JS function being use to hide certain field .  
Edwin VijayEdwin Vijay

Yes .. you can defenitely do it.. But my suggestion would be

 

1) Create a visualforce page with a standardcontroller


2) Use the rendered attribute and rerender attributes as far as possible..

 

If required use an extension

 

 

 

<apex:page standardcontroller="Campaign">
<apex:form >
    <apex:sectionHeader title="Create Campaign" subtitle="Create new Campaign"/>
    <apex:pageblock >
        <apex:pageBlockSection title="Campaign Information" columns="1">
          <apex:inputfield value="{!Campaign.Name}" rendered="{!IF (CONTAINS($User.Alias, Smith) True, False)}"/>
       </apex:pageblocksection>
     </apex:pageblock>
   </apex:form>
  </apex:page>
 
Now, the Campaign name field will be displayed only if the current logged in User's alias name is "Smith"..

somehow i am getting binding error . 


kaulsaksoftkaulsaksoft
Hi u can use the VisualForce DynamicPage Edit for the same where u can render few fields on the basis of the value that has been selected.
 
Rendering can be done on Picklist or checkbox or Button depending on the requirement.
 


agethuntagethunt
can u share the code with me . i am new to VF programming . another problem i am facing is the errors i am getting as binding errors . any help with that also would do


kaulsaksoftkaulsaksoft
Binding error are because there may be mismatch in the fields and the ids.
 
I am giving u the code for the same.
 
 
U can try the code for the Opportunity Object here u need to create two custom fields reason lost and competitor
 
<apex:page standardController="Opportunity" sidebar="false">
    <apex:sectionHeader title="Edit Opportunity" subtitle="{!opportunity.name}"/>
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock title="Edit Opportunity" id="thePageBlock" mode="edit">
            <apex:pageMessages />
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/>
                <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/>                
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            <apex:actionRegion >
                <apex:pageBlockSection title="Basic Information" columns="1">
                    <apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.name}"/>
                    <apex:pageBlockSectionItem >
                        <apex:outputLabel value="Stage"/>
                        <apex:outputPanel >
                            <apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.stageName}">
                                <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="thePageBlock"
                                                    status="status"/>
                            </apex:inputField>
                            <apex:actionStatus startText="applying value..." id="status"/>
                        </apex:outputPanel>
                    </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
                    <apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.amount}"/>
                    <apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.closedate}"/>
                </apex:pageBlockSection>
            </apex:actionRegion>
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Closed Lost Information" columns="1"
                                   rendered="{!opportunity.stageName == 'Closed Lost'}">
                <apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.competitor__c}"  required="true"/>
                <apex:inputField value="{!opportunity.Reason_Lost__c}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

For the page to execute Create an Object CustomerFinancialDetails 
 
with the fields are mentioned in the code

      <apex:commandButton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel"/>
</apex:pageBlockButtons>
